Moms, has anyone on here know of any babies growing up to have hearing or speech delays because of white noise? I have a two month old and in my sleep deprived and frustrated state, I have used very high volume of white noise extremely close to the baby. I downloaded decibel app and realized that I have been using it at over 70-80 decibel. I have stopped doing this but obsessing that I have already done the damage 😭

I think that you can go to your doctor and perform a hearing test to know that everything is ok. :)

Thank you :) I am pretty sure he hears us well. Just panicked a bit this morning 😅

Mama we have all been there! And the babies are all good. You are doing great

I’ve used a white noise machine with my son since he was an infant (he’s 2.5 now). He talks a blue streak, very articulately. We always had the machine across the room from where he sleeps and I don’t know how many decibels it was. But we often have it turned up as high as it will go and have a pedestal fan going.

Hello fellow HR pros! I really need your opinions on HR certifications. I am deciding between PHR and SHRM-cp. I have read just about all there is online comparing the two and can not decide.

I work for a 350~ company who is growing rapidly through M&A. Passions/interests are compliance, strategic vision, M&A, branding and culture
