Sensory Direct's ear defenders are great for children, teens and adults with Autism and Sensory Processing issues who are sensitive to noise and certain sounds. In this case study we hear from mum Kate and how wearing a pair of our ear defenders helped make fireworks fun for her son Ralphie.

Ralphie enjoys fireworks with his family

 

My son Ralphie, who is  six years old, is autistic and non-verbal. We've been familiar with Sensory Direct for a while now as our go-to place for sensory equipment, gadgets, and toys for all ages and needs.

After struggling to find good-quality ear defenders from other sites (which Ralphie refused to wear), we decided to try Sensory Directs ear defenders back in October 2024, just in time for fireworks night. We’re so glad we did! Ralphie didn’t take them off once, and for the first time ever, he was able to enjoy the entire fireworks display with his family and a ride at the fair. It was such a special moment for us.

Thank you, Sensory Direct, for making such a difference!

Kate, Ralphie & Family
