Guest guest Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 You can also buy kid-sized, really good ear muffs at sensorycomfort.com They carry all sorts of products for kids and adults with various sensory issues. We don't use ours too much these days (thankfully), but it made a huge difference for and our family. Until we found them at about age 3 1/2, we could not take her anywhere that was loud. She has outgrown many of the situations where she would not have even entered before, and now she will just ask for them when she needs them. , mom to (10), (8 DS), and Sammy (7) tbabaker@... wrote: > > What a great idea about the ear muffs...!!

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 With my son it seems to be a stim, rather than him avoiding noise. Somehow he likes that " tunnel " sound you get when you cover your ears. He usually is making noises when he does it, so not sure if it's the same thing as your son.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 I believe that is the same here. In the beginning, she made noises along with putting her fingers behind her earlobe. (it could get loud at times) Then she would just put her fingers behind her earlobes without the noise. I noticed that evrytime we did high input and sensory, she would get a couple hours break from it. Now she rarely does it and if she does, it's on the highway. Note: we were walking this morning and a train went by. She said train and did the choo choo motion with her arm so the guy blew the horn. Shocked the crap out of her but she recovered so quickly. She put her fingers behind her ear but immediately dripped and just wanted to put her head in my chest. This took all of five seconds theb she said come on and we continued walking. For us, researching the vestibular really helped. We started the therapy but stopped around the same time we started chelation. She has regulated a lot and I think it all worked together (therapy, chelation). s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
