Re: Bees Buzzing - Serious Question

Could her ears be ringing? Mine do when I have a sinus infection and it

sort of sounds like buzzing. I think tinnitus is the medical term.

( ) Bees Buzzing - Serious Question

Hi! My daughter is constantly saying that she hears bees buzzing.

Well, her neurologist says she's fine and sent her to an ENT who says

her hearing is perfect. My question is whether or not this could be a

part of her autism? If not I'm truly confused as to what it is. I'm

going to try to chart when it happens so that I can see what triggers

it. I just don't know what to do to make things better for her in this

case. Thanks!

Sounds like a condition called 'Tinnitus'. My friend with " normal "

hearing has this and in her case it is not related to Autisim. It is

a noise that is fairly constant - a rushing/buzzing background

sound - that is irritating and sometimes causes her headaches.

Maybe " google " the term and see if it matches with your daughter's

description. Good-luck!

Tinnitus is a side-effect of many medications, even

when it is not listed in the package insert as such.

Is she on any meds?

I don't know. She won't explain it and I think it happens too frequently

for it to be sinusitis.

Thanks for everyone's replies. I looked up tinnitus and sinusitis and

ruled those out. I'm really leaning toward sensory issues because I know

that she absolutely hates how the tags in her clothes make her feel and

the texture of some things she can't eat, she also has food issues and if

it doesn't feel right in her mouth she'll tell me it's yucky. I thought

this was just her being a normal kid but now that you're suggesting

sensory issues is it possible that all of these things can be a big red

flat that I'm just now noticing. If so, I'm wondering what to do about

it. Obviously the ENT and neurologist were of no help and her therapist

suggested a psychiatrist but isn't that a bit drastic? Thanks for the

help and I appreciate the further answers to my questions.

, An Occupational THerapist with an understanding of Sensory Intergration

is where to begin. The OT will eval her sensitivites and help her with a

" sensory diet " and even some desensitization. Go with your gut feelings.

All the best,

My daughter also has many sensory problems, sights, sounds, food, movement ect.

Try to find an OT who specializes in Sensory Processing who could do a complete

evaluation.

Maybe she is hearing the flourescent lights " buzz " , or a fan in the

background no one else hears. My AS daughter hears noises like this

all the time given her sensory issues.

Hi ,

I didn't see your original question, so I am replying to the replies I see to

you.

I can't stand being near flashing lights. I become irritable and feel totally on

edge. Even a flourescent light that no one else sees flickering can drive me

bats. Disco lights with have me on the run, if not nauseous.

As far as the " bees " in soncerned, I can't get away from it. I never have. It's

like I, as a living being, have a high pitched vibration that is natural to me.

I don't ever remember a time when I didn't hear it. I don't " hear " it through my

ears, but rather through the base of my skull. So, I know it's not tinnitus,

which is ringing in the ears, and I hear it whether I have a stuffed up sinus

cold or not, nor does a stuffed up sinus cold make it better or worse, so I know

it's not sinusitus. I don't recall ever noticing any difference when I'm near a

flourescent light.

Maybe it is a sensory issue. There are other things I am very touchy about. Food

for thought.
