Not sure where the home office is but pretty sure it is nationally known company. Dianna -- Sound sensitive > > Mother had an appointment with her hearing aide company > today.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Certainly understand the different frequencies. They have the equipment on site to test for hearing as well. -- Sound sensitive >> >> Mother had an appointment with her hearing aide company >> today.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 When Jen was little to help with her sound sensitivity, I was told to go buy at a drug store this soft wax light balls and place the wax like stuff in her ears for short periods of time. This would give Jen a break from the sound. I was not to leave the wax like stuff in for long period of time, but it did help Jen deal with the sound sensitivity. I would ask your doctors, before doing this because Jen just turned twenty years old and that was over ten years ago, a lot has changed in ten years.
