I'm new here!
Hi, my name is Marina70160. I'm here because my 14-year-old autistic daughter has had hyperacusis for ten months and I would like to know how to help her heal. I read about that 14-year-old teenager from Delaware, Cindy Redmond, who suffered from the same condition back in 2016, and I would like to find her to have updates and ask her what has helped and how she got our of it, if she ever did. Anyone else with tips and treatment advice is welcome to message me as my daughter wants her life back. She has always been sensitive to sound as she is autistic, but it was never painful before a visit to a factory with her school, who did not offer earplugs and did not let her have access to her earmuffs, while she was unable to voice her needs and her pain to her teachers in the absence of her classroom aid. Symptoms did not start immediately but shortly after, and she is now homeschooled and has lost her social life as her friends have moved on.
