All sound and noise when cumulatively added will affect the ears. This is why we all lose our hearing with old age, some earlier than others, because it catches up on us. If you are concerned, then get an iPhone app or an android app that measures sound levels in decibels and put it near your child's ear and measure the level of the white noise. It should be less than 80 dB. If it is then it is safe to use for 8 hour periods. if you want to use it for short periods then its totally fine.

We have found THE best white noise application on Youtube! I have tried and tried different WN but nothing seems to work apart from this ONE that I found on Youtube. It calms our LO in seconds! I even tried it in the car today, which she absolutely hates and it worked!!!! I was just wondering if anyone has ever heard about white noise being damaging to babies hearing or anything about high frequencies in white noise not being good for babies? TIA!
