Q. What do the letters printed on the earmuffs refer to?
A. The letters printed on the side of the earmuffs refer to various international safety standards:
ANSI S3.19 - The American National Standards Institute is a private, nonprofit organization that oversees the development of voluntary consensus standards for products, services, processes, systems, and personnel in the United States. Equivalent Australian companies include SAI Global and Standards Australia. S3.19 is the standard introduced by the ANSI to regulate hearing protection devices. Em's 4 Kids meet these requirements.
EN352-1: 1993 - This is the European Standard for hearing protection and hearing protectors, as well as protective clothing and other safety measures. Em's 4 Kids also meet this standard.
Q. What ages are Em's 4 Kids ear muffs suitable for?
A. Em's 4 Kids can be worn by children of all ages. However, we recommend that they are not used on children less than 6 months old. This is due to the fact that newborns heads are quite soft, and the ear muffs are a reasonably tight fit. PLEASE NOTE: This is a RECOMMENDATION only. We have had customers use Em's 4 Kids on children less than 6 months, with no problems whatsoever. For this reason, we created Em's 4 Bubs, the world's first baby earmuffs! These are designed specifically for babies.
Should you find the ear muffs to be a bit too tight, they can be stretched slightly. Simply place two chairs back to back, and stretch the ear muffs over the two chairs. After leaving the ear muffs for a while, they will have stretched by a small amount, making them a bit less tight when worn.
Q. Do Em's 4 Kids ear muffs come in different sizes?
A. Em's 4 Kids ear muffs are a "one size fits all" product. Each side of the ear muffs is adjustable in length. Once placed on the head, each ear covering can be lengthened simply by pulling the ear covering downwards. As a result, Em's 4 Kids ear muffs grow with your child!

Q. How do Em's 4 Bubs ear muffs work?
A. Em's 4 Bubs ear muffs are the world's first hearing protection ear muffs for infants, and use our patented design to ensure that there is less pressure placed on a baby's skull. The headband design disperses pressure more evenly around the head, which results in a firm yet comfortable fit. The headband can be inserted/removed by lifting the clip on each ear muff cup and sliding the headband in or out. As your baby grows, you can purchase headbands in one of 3 different sizes (newborn-6 months, 6-18 months or 18 month and up) to ensure the correct fit.
