He would beg to stay in the nursery with my daughter, but that meant he missed the children's message. (He's the kid who always "says the darndest things" and we'd hate to miss out on that.) So we tried having him stay with us, but he'd end up hiding under the pews holding his ears, or begging to go back to the "cry room".
We tried regular headphones. They looked adorable, but didn't help the sound levels. I considered earmuffs. Then I came across these:
"Sound isolation headphones" meant for kids who play instruments (like the drums). They reduce the noise level by 22 decibels. They weren't as expensive as the adult versions you see in in-flight catalogs, either. They were around $30, including shipping.
They've already arrived, so I'll let you know how it goes!
The verdict is in: They worked like a charm! Highly recommended!
