[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 504957, member: 6705"] :hugs: Jett will talk nonstop, too. At top volume - he doesn't seem to understand that people being right in front of him mean, TONE IT DOWN! He walks like an elephant, turns the TV up extremely loud - will turn it down when asked, since he has no hearing problem (he's been tested repeatedly). I hide in my room for 15 minutes here or there, put on my OWN mp3 player... If others can hear her music through her headphones, she is damaging her hearing. Tell her to turn it down. I have extremely sensitive hearing, so I can understand (some). If the TV is on, but muted? I can hear it. The high-pitched electronic noise makes me CRAZY. I've woken up at 2 AM, can hear the noise, go upstairs and Jett has turned off the DVR but left the TV on - so no picture - just the "ON" noise. Have you tried the "quiet game"? Start with 5 minutes - And if it helps, you can be quiet during this time too, which is probably easier for you than her. If she likes TV, whatever, use it as a reward... Just a few thoughts...
