Seems as though Benjamin has a hard time concentrating at school... probably not so unusual for 7-year-old boys. These Peltor Kid hörselskydd are marketed for rock concerts (with pictures of Gwyneth's little Apple wearing them), fireworks and other loud activities. However, we thought they might come in useful in keeping outside distractions to a minimum during homework time and while doing school work. We started last night after dinner, when we sat down work on his math. He immediately put on the hörselskydd, but instead of doing any work, he set about trying how different things sounded with them on - banging on them, banging on the table, hitting a fork on a plate, yelling, and so on. So for a few minutes, we all wished we had hörselskydd as well! But then he finally focused on his work, and seemed to enjoy wearing them.
This morning, he woke up before 5, and we rolled over with a muffled "go back to bed - it's too early". When we went in to wake him up for school, there he was, sound asleep, wearing the hörselskydd again! He had them on the whole way to school in the car, and proudly carried them in to his desk.
So the verdict? Clearly they are comfortable to wear (and sleep in!), and they fit a 7-year-old easily. I even tried them, and they just about worked for me. As for helping him concentrate in school... he gave them a glowing review this afternoon when I picked him up... but we will wait and see what the teacher says.
