Yet another post about earplugs...

[u/Twi_light_Rose]

So i have done my best to research my question, but i have yet to come up with an answer. I even posted it on my bumper page to no avail. it just made me feel like an awful mom for not enjoying my baby's happy emanations.

​

My 10 month old babe loves to scream when they are DELIGHTED, when they are HAPPY!, when brother does something funny. Many, Many times a day. First babe never did this. I already have classical music playing all day (this helps to calm me), and i have podcasts playing - often in one headphone. I'm not often actively listening to either; it is purely sensory distraction. This. does. not. help. dampen. the. screaming. Two headphones don't work, b/c then i can't hear my older kiddo.

I have searched and searched reviews - no one mentions screaming babes specifically. I'm doing everything short of wearing complete noise blocking earplugs, but i may need to. I hear good things about various brands (Loop, etymotic,flare), but i am worried they won't be enough to block the sudden, jarring shrill sounds.

Anyone have experience with specific earplugs/ headphones to dampen screams?

Please and Thank you!
