She's 3, she was drawing something on the balloon and it popped in her hand which startled her. Worried about her getting permanent tinitus.

Firstly, OP, you're awfully rude.
Secondly, balloons pop. It's what they do. If this was going to be harmful to people's health, there's no way they'd be freely available to buy.
Your fears are irrational, and it'd probably be a good idea to work on your anxiety.
I'm okay with who I am, although I appreciate your concern.
I've suffered from anxiety for over thirty years, sometimes to the point where I've been completely unable to function. If my anxiety is making me behave irrationally or causing ludicrously faulty thinking, you bet I want somebody to tell me so I can start tuning up my coping strategies.
How is, no a good answer to someone who suffers with anxiety. Obviously im ignorant to new baby things, want her to be well. Looked on google and it said on the first page,
Popping balloons with a pin or squeezing one until it popped were nearly as loud. Sounds louder than 85 dB can cause permanent hearing loss, according to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). ... The noise is louder than the sound of shotguns and rifles, which could mean considering using ear defenders.
Okay, you need to use your logical head here.
Do you normally see kids wearing ear defenders at birthday parties?
Is it a common thing at wedding receptions?
I'm sorry if this upsets you but you need to try and rationalise this.

Well people should have some knowledge of things before saying no.
Also the balloon was very close to her, how can you possibly know it didnt cause ringing in her ears
Nobody can. However, common sense would suggest not.
If balloons were dangerous they would come with warnings, because balloon manufacturers would get sued otherwise.
Please also bear in mind that this isn't a forum for balloon experts, it's a forum where anxiety sufferers try their best to help out other anxiety sufferers, on their own time and completely unpaid. Snapping at people because you don't get the response you want to hear is very rude indeed.

Saying no without explaining in more detail is not not what a forum is for, and saying no is not trying their best LOL, and telling me i am rude is not going to achieve anything here. You guys are the rude ones. I've been on here 10 years and not one person till this year has gotten fed up with my questions. Wherever fishmanpa goes you follow. Happends on my other two threads too.
