I am sure every parent wants to buy things that are safe for their children to use. The same goes for us. So I was delighted to learn that PuroQuiet headphones help protect children from hearing loss. They were developed by a father who realised his 10-year-old daughter had sustained Noise-Induced Hearing Loss from listening to music too loud, for too long. He found that there was no one addressing this issue adequately, so his family set about designing and developing the highest-quality, studio-grade, volume limiting to 85 decibels children’s headphone whilst still at an affordable price. Best of all, it can be used wirelessly via Bluetooth.
The OKIDO Which Way game is an exciting adventure game that teaches coding skills to children.
