Hi everyone,
My son is 3 years old. He has autism and is non verbal. He has alot of sensory needs and hates his head/hair being touched. Lately, he is getting very upset by loud noises and even some noises that aren’t loud, noises that to him are upsetting. He used to just cover his ears but now he covers his ears and cries and he gets very upset and sad. We have bought ear defenders but he won’t wear them, they do feel quite tight and my other children have tried them and said the same. I have tried stretching them out but he still won’t wear them. Are there ear defenders you can get that aren’t quite so tight? He won’t wear anything in ear and I cant explain to him they are tight but will get better as he doesn’t understand/is able to take instructions or conversation. I hope I haven’t made that too complicated.
Thank you.
