J has what I call a noise intolerance. He covers his ears and cries at fireworks, he can't be in the bathroom with me and the hair dryer running. Loud noises are frightening to him- though some of that he has grown out of.

I am glad you have a ped that listens and does something. I had such a stressful time dealing with J's throat clearing, with not only the ped- multiple times, but the pediatric ENT, too! I don't think the word pediatric infront of a speciality is all that its cracked up to be. The adult ENT made the difference, with him.

Good luck, and getting it evaluated is the right step.
