Question
Why are children particularly sensitive to sounds? Is this situation normal?
Answer
Children can be particularly sensitive to sounds, especially those that are sharp, and may exhibit reactions such as blinking, sadness, or fear. This could be due to their auditory system not being fully developed yet, making them more sensitive to certain sounds. Additionally, children may feel uneasy due to sudden noises, which is quite common in young children. If this situation persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a pediatrician or an otolaryngologist to understand if there are any hearing issues or other health concerns. In daily life, try to reduce unnecessary noise, avoid excessive sound stimulation for children, and create a quiet and comfortable environment to reduce their unease.
