Reduce ambient sound levels by at least 7 decibels (dB), cutting sound pressure by over 50% to help infants sleep, stabilize oxygen levels, and cope with loud hospital environments.

MiniMuffs® Neonatal Noise Attenuators are used to reduce the sound level reaching a neonate’s ears during short-term supervised hospital use or clinical transport. 

They are intended for professional use with neonates in a hospital setting or during clinical transport. 

The IFU indicates short-term hospital use with neonates in a supervised setting for less than 24 hours. Follow your facility’s infection control and skin-care protocols to determine the appropriate length of use. 

The IFU states there are no known contraindications or side effects related to CHS MiniMuffs Noise Attenuators. Users should examine skin per facility protocol and discontinue use if irritation, abrasion, or edema is present. 

Yes. The IFU states the product is for use with neonates in a hospital setting or during clinical transport to reduce noise levels and support longer periods of sleep time. 

Use care when removing. Wet a cotton swab or gauze pad and gently work under the edge to loosen the hydrogel while supporting the underlying skin 

Do not fold or bend the ear, do not force large ears into the earmuffs, do not place over compromised skin, avoid placing earmuffs on hair, and do not press on the raised center. 

Remove each earmuff from the release liner one at a time. Position the earmuff around the neonate’s ear and press the edges gently but firmly to ensure a good seal. 

The IFU lists a 7 dB Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) when used as directed. NRR was calculated in accordance with EPA 550/9-79-256.
