Can Sleep Machines Harm Babies' Ears?
Roberta Singer
For those of you with newborn children, grandchildren or great-grandchildren, ensure the noise-making sleep machine you are using to keep the baby lulled asleep is not damaging the baby's hearing. Keep the level to 50dB or below. Use one of the many noise measuring apps on your smart phone to check the sound level at the crib. Placing the sleep machine on the side of the nursery away from the crib is always best!
