Ultrasonic technology is becoming increasingly popular for various purposes, including pest control and medical imaging. However, many parents ask, can babies hear ultrasonic and if their babies can hear ultrasonic sounds do they pose any risks. In this article, we’ll explore the facts about babies and ultrasonic sounds.
What are Ultrasonic Sounds?
Ultrasonic sounds are high-frequency sound waves that are above the range of human hearing. They are commonly used in various applications, including medical imaging, pest control, and cleaning devices. Ultrasonic sounds can be emitted by various devices, including ultrasonic pest repellers, humidifiers, and dental cleaning devices.
Can Babies Hear Ultrasonic Sounds?
The hearing range of humans typically ranges from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Babies, on the other hand, can hear sounds at much higher frequencies, up to 25,000 Hz. This means that babies can potentially hear ultrasonic sounds that are above the range of human hearing.
Our DX610 Pest-A-Repel outputs at 40,000 Hz which is way above what a human (including babies) can hear.
However, it’s important to note that the ability of babies to hear ultrasonic sounds can vary depending on their age. Newborns have a limited hearing range, but their hearing ability develops rapidly during the first few months of life. By the time they reach six months, their hearing range is similar to that of adults.
Do Ultrasonic Sounds Pose Risks to Babies?
While babies can potentially hear ultrasonic sounds, there is currently no evidence to suggest that they pose any risks. Ultrasonic pest repellers, for example, emit sound waves that are designed to repel pests but are not harmful to humans or pets. These devices are considered safe for use around babies and children.
However, it’s important to use ultrasonic devices properly and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. For example, ultrasonic pest repellers should be placed out of reach of children and the devices should be used according to the recommended frequency and duration.
Conclusion
In conclusion, babies can potentially hear ultrasonic sounds up to 30,000 Htz, but there is no evidence to suggest that they pose any risks even at that low frequency. Ultrasonic devices such as pest repellers are considered safe for use around babies and children. However, it’s important to use these devices properly and follow the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure their safety. If you have any concerns about the use of ultrasonic devices around your baby, consult with your pediatrician for advice.
