• Loud events: fireworks, concerts, motorsports, sporting events
• Kids who struggle to sleep or focus in noisy environments
• Parents wanting a comfortable, adjustable alternative to disposable earplugs

• Adjustable headband grows with your child

How It Works

Hushies use multiple layers of noise-reducing foam inside cushioned ear cups to block excessive sound. Simply adjust the headband to fit your child's head, place over the ears, and they're protected. No batteries, no fuss — just instant quiet.

Hushies Earmuffs and the NDIS

Hushies kids earmuffs are commonly used as a sensory support tool for children with disability, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), sensory processing disorder (SPD), ADHD, and anxiety. For families with an NDIS plan, noise-reducing earmuffs may be claimable as a low-cost assistive technology item under the Consumables support category (Support Category 3), depending on your child's plan and goals.

We recommend speaking with your NDIS support coordinator or plan manager to confirm eligibility. Sleep and Sound provides a tax invoice with every purchase, which can be used for NDIS reimbursement claims.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use my NDIS funding to buy Hushies earmuffs?

Noise-reducing earmuffs used as a sensory support tool may be claimable under the NDIS Consumables support category (Category 3 — Low Cost Assistive Technology), depending on your child's plan and goals. Speak with your support coordinator or plan manager to confirm. Sleep and Sound provides a tax invoice with every purchase for reimbursement purposes.

What age are Hushies suitable for?

Hushies are designed for children aged 2 and up. The adjustable headband accommodates a range of head sizes as your child grows. For newborns and infants under 2, we recommend a specialist infant hearing protection product.

How do I know they will fit my child?

The headband is fully adjustable and designed to fit most children aged 2 to 10+. Simply extend or compress the headband until the ear cups sit comfortably over both ears with a gentle seal. If the cups don't fully cover the ears, extend the headband further.

Are Hushies safe for children with sensory sensitivities?

Yes. Hushies are a popular choice for children with autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, and misophonia. The soft cushioned ear cups are designed for comfort during extended wear, and the lightweight design minimises pressure on the head.

Can my child wear them at a concert or fireworks display?

Absolutely — that's exactly what they're made for. Hushies block excessive noise while still allowing your child to hear voices and conversation, so they stay comfortable and connected without being overwhelmed.

How do I clean Hushies earmuffs?

Wipe the ear cups and headband with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not submerge in water. Allow to air dry fully before use.

Are they foldable for travel?

Yes — Hushies fold flat for easy storage in a bag, pram, or backpack. They're designed to be taken anywhere.

What If They Don't Like Wearing Them?

Let your child choose their colour — kids are far more likely to wear hearing protection they picked themselves. Hushies are designed to be comfortable enough for extended wear, even for children who are usually resistant to things on their head.
