This extremely popular sleep aid does appear to help with baby sleep. But when used incorrectly, it can lead to longterm and even permanent hearing loss.

White noise for babies work for many to help them fall asleep faster and reduce night waking. It's a useful tool and I do recommend it. However, both the volume and duration of exposure need to be considered to ensure your little one's ears aren't accidentally damaged while using white noise.

Because of how long their ears are exposed to white noise, it doesn't have to be what we would often consider loud in order to be harmful to their hearing.

In this video, you'll learn how to use white noise safely and how to test to see if you have your white noise machine set up in a way that's optimal for your baby.
