Avatar f tn as a 2 yr old he would never run on a playground and get on a slide unless either of his parents were right next to him. at 2.5 yrs he would be unable to seperate from parent to participate in age appropriate classes. he'd cover his ears and cry when children shout. he had been home until he was 3 and started preschool at 3. he loves his school. but now at the age of 4 he still complains of noise fears.
Avatar f tn He hurt me, but love hurts. When I hear the noises, it reminds me of him and how he scared me sometimes, and I get more scared and lonely....can anyone give me ny advice?
Avatar n tn Well, anyways, my problem now is my acquired fear of loud noises and places. Im 21 and in college, so i basically dont go to parties (loud music) and DEF have not been to a single concert yet and will never again in my life, i dont play my radio loud, and dont attend football games (ppl screaming and band and all that). I really feel like ****. I want to go out and have fun and be be normal and all that but i want to have my hearing in good condition and not stress the tinnitus situation.
Avatar n tn I have a four year old daughter who is extremely afraid of any kind of insect, whether it's big or small. If a bug is near her, she screams and panics. She is also afraid of loud noise, for ex.I can't vacuum, blow dry my hair, make eggs, anything that makes any type of loud noise or even when we grill, she is hiding. When in the pool, she is afraid of leaves that fall in the pool and bugs that are in the water.
Avatar f tn When these things are done to him he goes into a panic and starts to scream in fear. When he was about 3 his fear started to spread to noises, he now has a fear of loud noises. He is afraid to go into public bathrooms because of the blow dryers, he will cover his is ears scream is a smoke detector goes off and these are just two. I am going to take him to the doctor but I would like to have an idea of what may be going on if any so I can advocate for my son if a second opinion is needed.
Avatar n tn He is afraid of loud noises such as fireworks even if they are at a great distance. He will hold his hands over his head and not look up. He is afraid of fire in a fireplace or at a hibachi grill to the point where he will hide under the table covering his ears. He doesn't seem to like the feeling of heat on his face. He is also afraid of loud noises such as fire alrams, etc. He also has an instense fear of getting his haircut.
5967922 tn?1377546960 s always been afraid of loud shouting but now his fear has extended in the past couple weeks. He is afraid of any loud nose - shouting, gunshots, any sudden noise that is out of the blue, etc. When any of these things frighten him, he shakes uncontrollable and can't be comforted. He wants to try and get away from the noise by going outside, but then is fearful outside and wants to come right back in. I recently got him a thundershirt, but he still shivers in it.
Avatar m tn I have no idea how to help you overcome your apparently severe ticklishness, perhaps therapy would offer some useful insight. I don't know how often you are approached by people wielding a "vibration device," but I would try yelling, in a very loud and forceful tone of voice "NO!" Or "STOP! I DO NOT LIKE THAT!
Avatar n tn Hi, My three and a half year old daughter has lately been avoiding to participate in group activities. She goes to a Montessori 3 year kinder and she is a mini tigers taekwondo club. She stopped liking to play with the group. She decides to sit and watch. She asks mum to tell who ever is in charge that she doesn't want to play. Mummy ignores it. She is also afraid of loud noises. I am really curious whether this is something that I can develop my child to overcome or get rid off?
Avatar f tn Thank you for your response, and also the TN link. I will report my findings to my neuro at my next appt. It may be best for me to forego future concerts and other situation where sudden, loud sounds are likely to occur. I'm beginning to fear the possibility of triggering TN as much as I fear the actual pain. I can see where this could become life-altering if I don't get a grip on it. From what I've read my TN could possibly remit for some period of time. How likely is this?
Avatar m tn I get this way too even when not in an episode, its important that the ones around you are aware of the fact you can't stand loud noises so they not do loud things, other than that i would defiantly talk to your psychiatrist about getting meds sorted out so you come out of your episode.
Avatar f tn Things that are worth being happy for, things that make you smile or things you have been blessed with. Then task yourself at the end of the day, no matter how bad that day was, to name out loud a positive of the day. Example: my car got rear ended today and I lost 20 dollars in cash. Positive: the lady who hit me has insurance and she was so nice. I'm thankful my baby is okay, what an amazing thing that our bodies are so protective for our unborn child!

Avatar f tn Talk this over with your parents so they can get you therapy to learn how to break free of this fear. Good luck and take care!
