Guest guest Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 My daughter now eight has always had sensory issues with noise. If she can process it or is ready to process it she does fine but if it is too loud or overwhelming she cannot deal with it. We have invested ten dollars in a pair of hunting ear muffs and it has made all of the difference in the world. We have been to loud parties, movies shows etc. disney world would not have any fun without it. Hope this helps. from Colorado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 What a great idea about the ear muffs...!! My poor boy covers his ears in noisy restaurants and at social functions. I had thought it was only him who did this. How comforting to hear we are not alone. I'll tell hubby about the ear muffs and then perhaps we will have more family fun this fall!

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Kenzie (11DS) has had the same problem since she was very small...If she is making the loud noise it is fine BUT she can't stand for anyone else to clap loud or make loud noises. We have tried everything but so far nothing wors except to avoid loud places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 My daughter puts a finger behind each ear. This used to be a constant until we started floortime. (tried diet and yeast protocols but that didn't help). I've been told that this has to do with the activity of the vestibular After a year of floortime, she only did it during transition (for the first 30 seconds or so), when we were on the highway or if there was a really loud noise. Now, she only does it when we are on a busy highway about 50 percent. (we have been AC protocol since January.) A big thing I have noticed is that now my daughter enjoys riding with all the windows down in the car. It used to be she would hold her ears and lie down on the backseat if I even let one window down. Hope this helps, s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 > > Our son is on many supplements and has greatly improved in the last five months. However, he keeps on covering his ears even when watching his favorite videos at normal volume. Anybody know the reason for this? At my house, this was usually related to yeast overgrowth.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 my son used to hate it if I opened the car window on the highway (you know how it makes that weird thum, thump sound).He was very sound sensitive, terrible auditory processing, bad vestibular and other sensory probs. Two year into biomed, about 65 rounds of chelation he now tolerates it, sometimes asks for it.Oh, Listening Therapy may have helped too.Alison M RE: [ ] Covering Ears My daughter puts a finger behind each ear.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 We are on round 25 this weekend; I definitely believe both the therapy and chelation helped. You know, I forgot to mention that we had Tomatis that seemed to help. It was kind of confusing because Tomatis seemed to stir up which made things worse but then it got better. s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Our son, to be precise, puts his fingers in his ears and seems to get relief from it. However, its happening only when he is watching his videos. We were recently informed that he has some fluid in his middle ear and were given several medications by an ENT (Sinupret, rhinocort, oxymetazoline and iliadin). One of these is a steroid and I was afraid to use the medication. I have seen posts describing use of garlic oil and want to try it.
