DD is sensitive to noise. Still can't use a bathroom with the dreaded "Accelerator" hand dryers!
I feel badly for her as this must be very limiting. It may be an area to delve into further and explore potential causes. For example I've heard of similar responses from children who were adopted from desperate conditions, including orphanages in devastated areas, who subsequently needed help processing some things including loud sounds. On the other hand, I'm aware that sensitivity to noise can sometimes be an indication of ear infections which left undetected and untreated have lead to permanent decrease in hearing, even deafness.
