It plays a fundamental role in <strong>neural stimulation<\/strong> and is crucial for the development of <strong>brain plasticity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The importance of this organ is evident even during intrauterine life: starting from four and a half months of pregnancy, it becomes functional and begins to interact with the brain and central nervous system.<\/p>\n<p>A newborn\u2019s hearing capacity is almost equal to that of an adult, but their threshold for reacting to noise is much lower: an unfamiliar sound, even faint, can startle them. Getting used to household noises is part of their developmental process, so the baby shouldn\u2019t be isolated in silence. Instead, it\u2019s important to exercise a bit of caution and common sense. At birth, a baby\u2019s ear canals are much smaller than those of adults, so loud and prolonged sounds could negatively affect them, potentially damaging their hearing.<\/p>\n<p>According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, during the first months of life, a baby <strong>should not be exposed to noise levels above 45 decibels<\/strong> (15).<\/p>\n<p>It is therefore advised not to expose an infant to noise that exceeds this threshold. A dishwasher typically produces between 45 and 60 decibels. A vacuum cleaner can reach 70\u201380 decibels. Even sounds made by some toys might be too loud.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, a study published in Pediatrics found that some sound-producing toys on the market can reach 79 decibels, with peaks of 85, very close to the 90 decibels produced by a pneumatic hammer!<\/p>\n<p>Sound is essential for a baby\u2019s sensory development, but it should not be forced. Occasionally allowing the baby to rest in silence is beneficial, helping them become aware of background sounds and the wonderful noises of nature.<\/p>\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\"
