Yes. Kidz+ earplugs are made from medical-grade silicone that is BPA-free, PVC-free, and latex-free. There are no hard plastic components and no allergens. The size has been specifically designed for children aged 3 to 12, with a smaller diameter than adult earplugs to fit young ear canals without pressure or over-insertion. They have been independently tested and certified to a 24 dB noise reduction standard by PZT GmbH, a German Notified Body (No. 1974).

Kidz+ are designed for children aged 3 to 12. The smaller diameter is specifically proportioned for young ear canals in this age range. For children outside this range, or if you are unsure about fit, we offer the AR KI TECH service — upload two photos of your child’s ears and our AI recommends the exact size. If they are not the right fit for your child, our 40-day guarantee means you can return them with no questions asked.

Kidz+ were specifically designed with sensory-sensitive children in mind. The extra-soft medical-grade silicone is chosen to minimise the tactile discomfort that many children with autism or SPD experience with firmer materials. The 24 dB noise reduction is enough to lower the overwhelming noise floor of environments like birthday parties, school assemblies, and shopping centres, without fully isolating your child from sound. Many parents find this “take the edge off” level of reduction is exactly what their child needs — present and protected rather than cut off.

This is one of the most common questions we hear. A few approaches that parents have found helpful: introduce the earplugs at home first, in a quiet and familiar environment, before using them in a challenging setting. Let your child handle them, look at them, and put them in themselves when they feel ready. Some parents frame them as “super ears” or “noise helpers.” Starting with shorter wear periods and gradually building tolerance is more effective than waiting for a meltdown to try them. Our 40-day guarantee means there is no pressure — if they do not work for your child, return them.

Kidz+ carry a 24 dB independently certified SNR (Single Number Rating) from PZT GmbH, Notified Body No. 1974. In practical terms: a birthday party with 85 dB of noise becomes approximately 61 dB with Kidz+ in place — quieter than a normal conversation. A school corridor at 80 dB drops to around 56 dB. The protection is meaningful without being total isolation. Your child remains aware of voices, music, and their environment — they are simply no longer overwhelmed by it.

Yes, provided they are comfortable for your child. Medical-grade silicone is safe for extended wear. Many parents of children with ADHD and sensory processing differences use them through the school day, particularly during transitions, assemblies, and lunch breaks when noise levels are highest. If your child’s school has a specific sensory support plan, Kidz+ can be incorporated into it. As with any wearable, if your child reports discomfort, remove them and check the fit.

Yes. The 24 dB reduction lowers the overall noise floor, but normal speech — a teacher talking directly to your child, a parent giving instructions — remains clearly audible. Kidz+ are not designed to block all sound. They are designed to reduce the overwhelming background noise while preserving meaningful communication. Your child will still hear you.

Foam earplugs are disposable, often too large for young ear canals, and made from materials that can be an irritant for sensitive children. They also compress and expand in ways that can feel uncomfortable. Noise-cancelling headphones are bulky, visible, and often resisted by children who are already sensitive to pressure on their heads and ears. Kidz+ are small, discreet, reusable, made from soft silicone, and washable. They fit inside the ear canal without bulk, so your child can wear them at a party without standing out. The cost per use over 100 uses is also significantly lower than replacing disposables regularly.

Yes. Kidz+ are used by parents of children with grommets, particularly for swimming. The silicone forms a waterproof seal to prevent water ingress, which is important for children whose ear tubes require them to keep ears dry. Always consult your child’s ENT or GP if you have specific medical concerns, but Kidz+ are frequently recommended for grommet-related water protection.
