I had such high hopes when Treat began the hearing protection discussion. Alas, my hopes were dashed when he told her she didn’t have to use them. I am disappointed to see this lost opportunity for modeling responsible, caring behavior for hearing health. Romance authors have been mostly great about having their characters model condom use for the protection of a partner. Why then, if a character would protect against an adverse outcome in that situation, would they fail to protect a child against an adverse outcome (noise induced hearing loss) in this one? The correct answer to Layla’s question should have been “We’ll all be using them. See how they work?” FYI, because earplug protection can vary tremendously depending on how well or not they are inserted, I would recommend over the ear headset style protectors for young children. Their smaller ear canals can make it difficult to achieve a comfortable and effective fit with earplugs.
