Have you tried magnesium for his sensitivity. // I know my son used to hold

his hands over his ears until we supplimented.

Could be the difference in the acoustical environment. My daughter has

ENORMOUS variance in her tolerance of certain sounds, even as often as from

a morning to an afternoon in the same environment. She also has a very

definite avoid-approach issue that can be obsessive; desperately begging

for me to turn the vacuum on, and leave it on for lengths of time; the next

thing I know, she won't enter the room if it's there & not on. I think

it's a regulatory issue with the auditory hyperacusis. And she's better

than she was before Berard AIT 3 yrs ago.

OT:Hearing sensitivity

> Our 4 yo son has forbidden me to vacuum since last summer. If I try to

when he is in the house he cries very hard with real big tears and appears

to be very traumatized. Same thing with use of the microwave or listening to

the answer machine. But at school they run a vacuum,microwave and my sons

aide says he will look that direction but carry on with whatever he is

doing. Today when I picked him up from the center he was listening to an

answering machine. Do you think this is a control issue or maybe our

appliances are louder than the schools. He seemed to become more hearing

sensitive since having yeast treatments. Thanks
