Hannahs Ears- Advice?

[lizbud]

None of them really interfere with her day to day life but this one is starting to. Like she normally loves dance class... and she still does most of the time but now since this started she sometimes will stop and hold her ears and sometimes cry. but when you ask her if she had a good class she says yes and wants to go back . So I don't know... but in the moment it's affecting her enjoyment of things she would normally like and when it starts interferring that's when it's a problem.

Do you think Hannah is crying out of frustration then, rather than pain?
I hate to think of a child in pain but not able to properly express that to
other people. I hope you are able to get her in to see the Specialist
soon so you will have some real answers as to how to help her.

I think she cries because she's scared. I've heard her frustrated cry many times lol but this cry is different. I don't nessecarily think it's pain either but it wouldn't hurt to rule that out for certain.

I think this last month has only exacerbated this issue. It's been a crazy month. Between going to visit the inlaws in florida for a week and Christmas and new years and all the running around she has been really off schedule and I think that's just making this worse. Today she did pretty good. We went over to a friends for a play date and she only covered her ears once and that was because she was having trouble "going" not because of any sound.

she's usually pretty good about telling me if she hurts somewhere but I think fear is a new concept for her and she doesn't know how to express that so this is her coping mechanism when she gets nervous.

when she does it I ask her whats wrong but she jsut says "it's too loud"

So hopefully this hearing test will either reveal something or show everything is fine and then we know it's behavioural and can go from there.

a friend of mine deals with children with sensory issues and she gave me a few titles to check out that will help us work with this too.

I'm hoping now that we are back to regular normal day to day routine that she'll get back to feeling more comfortable with her surroundings and may help with this issue... hopefully. She definitely thrives on routine and when that gets out of whack she gets all out of sorts.

If it is pain I hope they find out the cause of it so we can get that taken care of right away.
