When she was three, she would open the door in the morning to go outside and cover her ears immediately claiming that the " birds were barking. " From those days, her sensitivity has gotten much better, but, she still screams when she hears an ambulance, a motorcycle or a food processor. At least the birds don't seem to be barking any more! I think children desensitize themselves to some of the noises, but, there are just some things that are at a painful decibel to them and they *CAN NOT* ignore. Her hearing sensitivity was greatly reduced when she took a small amount of Haldol, but, the side effect of the medication was not worth it, plus, the Haldol sorta " dulled " all of her senses and she just wasn't herself. I hope the auditory sensitivity that your daughter is experiencing will lessen with time, just as Jill's has.
