are the curettes smal enough to clean the ears in kids?
1818633
Yes. We have two daughters aged 3 and 5 and that is why we got this product.

The two curettes that included are the ring and scoop with the latter is smaller that may work. However, ear cleaning should only be done by professional. Use the otoscope to detect problem.

I use these in my 4 year olds ears. I never put them into the ear where I cannot see, only on the outermost part of the ear canal where wax tends to collect. They are very small

warm soapy water works pretty good for me, I don't know that I would use alcohol on them, might shorten the life of them! edit: as stated by another person, not much soap is needed. Also, I clean my ears with q-tips daily also, but my ears produce massive amounts of wax for some reason, and I also work long days and keep my earbuds in for 6-12hrs a day. I haven't noticed any degradation in quality of noise cancellation, and have washed my tips at least a couple times already... I'm sure at some point that would be an issue, but I just wash them gently then roll them in a towel lightly squishing them as I roll them so as to help dry them out as quickly as possible... anyways, enjoy!

I believe so. The volume is controlled by the computer not the headphones. But keep in mind they may not stay put on a 2 yr olds head.

That's hard to say...being towelettes, they are meant as a travel solution. However, they would be better in terms of applying to a child's face, neck, and ears, so that you can precisely cover those places without the possibility of a spray getting into their eyes or being messy. Also depends how much skin is exposed - a spray would be easier if the arms and legs are pretty exposed, where if it's just your hands and ankles, the towelette would suffice. Also can apply spray more heavily to the ankles, which are most apt to be bitten. So I guess the answer is, a combination of the two, using the towelettes for face, neck and ears.. Hope this is helpful. That's hard to say...being towelettes, they are meant as a travel solution.

Depends on the size of their head. The speakers have a strong spring (ie. the bottom of the headphones close snuggly). They might not stay on the head if your 1 year old is walking around but if sitting I would presume it would be fine. From the top of speaker to the headband it's 3 1/4". The inside width is 5 3/4".

No. these are referred to as " hearing amplifiers" they are not the same as hearing aids prescribed by a professional audiologist. They are not designed or meant for use for in children.

These should work fine. They are adjustable and the soft padding protects the ears. I like the on-cord volume control in case they learn to increase device volume. It also doesn't put too much pressure on the ears.

Yes they would work great for any age. Just make sure each kid gets their own!

Don't know that there is any. I keep my ears pretty clean, so after I use them I just wind them back up and put them back in the case. I would suggest soap and warm water to clean them.

The attachments are nowhere near as long as the ones the doctors use. I have 5 children and have not hurt any of them while using this. It is an awesome tool to have for identifying ear infections and for general cleaning.

Yes. The length they come with is the standard length that you use for adults... I trimmed one smaller for pediatric. I cleaned with vinegar between us.

I would think so. It just has the standard plug in. The ear muff part doesn't really fit to well on my kid's ears though. They are some what curved and pretty big for little ears...however, they were extremely cheap!

I have used he "loop" on this to remove blackheads from my sons ears and it works very well. I use it after he has taken a shower and it makes it much easier. I have to redo them from time to time but it is very little trouble. I notice blackheads in people's ears and do not want my children to have them! :>o Best of luck.

Well I wouldn't think so my daughter is almost four and the headphones are a little bit big for her head they make toddler size ones type in kid safe headphones and they will pop up with different selections

Yes! I used them on a younger child. Just monitor the cord. It can be a kind of long for little ones.

Hi - Yes, they should be very good. I already had our 8-year old granddaughter wear these and they're very comfortable, nice and cushy and they stay in place. And they're adjustable as well and they keep the sound inside the ear piece better than more costly ones I've used, so others won't hear much.
