Guest guest Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 My 4 year old has also become sensitive to loud noises this year. He is apraxic(talking now) but not SI. I am also beginning to suspect ADHD but he is too young to be sure. Although my older son didn't go through this noise sensitivity I recall some of older cousins(on dh side and not apraxic) being sensitive to loud sounds(like airplanes overhead) and covering their ears at around 4 and they outgrew it. So my guess in our case it is genetic and ds will probably outgrow it in next couple of years. Hope this helps. Dawn Hi all, my son is 4 with apraxia and sensory integration issues. He covers his ears ALOT. I thought that this was a sign of autism. His preschool teacher said that it is more sensory. My son doesnt like LOUD noises. When he does something wrong he will immediatly cover his ears since he doesnt want to hear anyone raise there voice. does anyone have any similar experiences with this....... will he ever STOP covering his ears????
