Thank you Drew Brees!

It really is amazing how one famous person can change the thinking of so many people.  For those of you that watch football, you may remember the television footage of Drew with his 1 year old son celebrating on the field after their Super Bowl win this year.  The first thing that I noticed was that his little boy was wearing ear protection.  Wow!

Here's the link for those of you that missed it:  http://www.sun-sentinel.com/health/sfl-baby-ears-030210,0,3562891.story

We have been talking about how all parents (grandparents too!) should protect their young childrens' hearing.  But, when most people hear it from a doctor, friend, news article, ect., they ignore it.  I would like to thank Drew Brees for showing all of us how easy it is to take those steps to ensure that our kids will have great hearing all of their lives.  The sales of hearing protection muffs, headsets, ect. have gone up 40% since the game.

If you are looking for one of these, here are a few places you can buy them.  The price for the child-size ones are around $20 - $30 each. (Peltor has a lower price than most!)
