Guest guest Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 This is a change of subject slightly, but does anyone have experience with in ear white noise generators? I am considering one for my daughter as school starts up. Her audiologist recommended it and I think it will help her concentrate in class (her trigger is sniffing). But they are pricey so I would appreciate any feedback from the group!! Thanks! Sent from my iPhone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Good idea. Also you can try the device for a trial period which I strongly recommend before purchasing. The main difference with the iPod vs the in-the-ear generator is visibility and acceptability along with the fact that the custom ear ones poke way down into the ear canal and deliver the sound better I think without interfering with other hearing of voices and such. You might want to use both. DrJ > > > This is a change of subject slightly, but does anyone have experience with in ear white noise generators?

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Along the same lines, how does one determine what volumes and what devices are safe? I feel like I have super sonic hearing & really would have to turn something up quite high to drown the smallest sounds out. Janet, has the school been cooperative and sensitive to your daughter's needs? does anyone have experience with in ear white noise generators?

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 We are just starting to understand her issues, so I would not say the school has been cooperative, but we have not been at a point to ask for specific types of assistance either. She gets continually dinged on social skills for offering other students a Kleenex, or making them "uncomfortable" when asking them to blow their nose. I feel that we are beginning this year armed with actual information on mispohonia that will help us advocate more effectively on her behalf. her audiologist gave us a noise generator today for a month on trial. If it helps, we will purchase one. We are also scheduling therapy to deal with the underlying issue. Her school has laptops, so she could use headphones and white noise, but being a 13 year old girl she would prefer to have less attention drawn to herself. The doctor did share that she is available to help us request special accommodations if that becomes necessary. I appreciate all of you for sharing your experiences- it is helping me gain insight and compassion into my child's struggles!
