in Snoo Mamas
Anyone concerned about hearing loss?
Yesterday, I measured the decibel level in Low mode with my Apple Watch, and it showed 59 dB. I read on Reddit that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends keeping noise machines at 50 dB or lower. I tried changing the setting to Lowest, but it goes too low. I wish there was an in-between setting.
Has anyone raised kids with the Snoo and noticed if their hearing is fine?
Thanks!

I’ve put tape over the speaker so it’s much quieter x
I used standard settings for both my babies and their hearing seems fine!
My cousin used it for her twins who are now 3 and has no issues. We've had no issues too but our baby is only 1.
My husband disabled the sound machine and we use a Hatch which we can have across the room.

My son used the snoo with the white noise on high (at least until he fell asleep) and I haven’t noticed any issues with his hearing at all. Doctor hasn’t either. It might be worth asking the pediatrician about, though. I wasn’t aware it was that loud (just never measured it.) I think higher dB become more concerning the longer they’re exposed to it
