Re: [POSSIBLE SPAM] ear defenders

Hi Sara,

We have similar problems with hearing sensitivity. Recently anyone

coughing or sneezing would cause distress. At the moment this is

fine! I have however just reintroduced magnesium. Can you link it to

anything supplement wise?

Not much help as far as ear defenders go.

Hi Sara

My son used to wear these all the time - for blender, vacuum, lawn mower, music - and during school events as he would melt down at the sound of clapping and cheering. They worked well for us. In August we did a course of Auditory Integration Therapy which cured him of this problem - he no longer wears the defenders for any noises as he is no longer sensitive to noise. If you want any more info about AIT just let me know.

Sara,

Sorry, not used ear defenders but just to share, Norman was similar, he

used to get totally distressed by the sound of a baby crying, even

children's voices, we'd have to make a quick exit wherever we were

otherwise he would not stop. This problem prevented us going to any

parent & toddler groups or anywhere with children. We did AIT (at age

3yrs) and the sensitivity stopped (it maybe helped him to cope better

and now he will just go very quiet, he will not move from where he is

but just retreats into himself if children are noisy and boisterous).
