Sensitive hearing problem

Sandy A
over 7 years ago

My ASD daughter gets very disturbed when people are talking downstairs, and she is in her bedroom upstairs. She finds the (random) noise intolerable, even if we try to talk quietly. It becomes a question of upsetting her, versus being silent all the time!

Has anyone any suggestions on what we could do? Noise cancelling headphones have been tried, but I think we got the wrong model.

Thanks for any replies.

    A fascinating post- and helpful. I'll pass on the bass thing. The 'can't hear what the words are' could also be very significant. Would there be some mileage in seeing if she is able to accept that state of affairs?

    The problem's not really about sleep- it's more when we're talking in the living room in the evening, especially about the TV.
