Can loud music harm his hearing?

Is there any danger to listening to loud music in my car?"

Ask Heidi Murkoff

Still, you might want to take a few precautions.

Babies begin detecting limited noises around week 16 of pregnancy.

Ask Heidi Murkoff

), can cause similar problems for fetuses.

Still, it’s not a bad idea to play it extra safe during your pregnancy.

Ask Heidi Murkoff

So position yourself toward the back of the concert hall, away from the speakers.

You’ll enjoy the music just as much and you’ll be certain your baby’s ears are safe.
