Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone knows any good ear defenders or sensory toys...
My 14 y.o daughter struggles with loud noises and we went out to listen to a band (which she loved) but it was too loud so spent the time in the playground where it was quieter and did not take her hands off her ears.
Any suggestions are appreciated
Thanks x
Hello, I wear standard ear defenders that I brought from a local hardware shop and find they work fine to shut out the worse of loud noise. They have padding and are comfortable. I hope you can find a similar pair that will work for your daughter.
Thank you. I will see what our Hardware store does.
I've found standard 'headphones' ear defenders a bit tight - 'brain squeezing' and the hollow bit where my ears are supposed to go are a bit small so they get squashed too. That's why I use the foam things - very odd to start with but forgettable eventually.
yes mine ( really good sound defenders ) took a phased usage before I could wear them for long periods. ( 10mins, 30 mins , 1 hour several times 3 hours several times until 6-8 hours max )
