Re: [Unschooling-dotcom] Loud from birth

Did I create this or is this nature?
screams!! I thought I'd go crazy!
As he's grown I've learned that he is just more emotionally extreme than my
other boys. He's either extatic or furious, and can change in an instant.
There is no simmering or cooling down period in his nature. Even his normal
speaking voice is LOUD. We've had to remind him to speak quietly, and in a
few minutes he's yelling again.
At least in some cases, I believe it is just nature.

that way. I do think that if his normal speaking voice is also loud that it
would be a good idea to have his hearing evaluated. One can have below
"normal" hearing without being deaf and speaking loudly is indeed a symptom.

my 4 yo has been very loud for a long time. Recently the dr. discovered he
had a pretty large buildup of earwax and prescribed drops and a wash. The
chunk of wax that came out looked like a piece of wood and he is not quite
so loud now.

We've not had him professionally tested, but this has been suggested before.
When he was much smaller my mother said she wondered if his hearing was a
problem, so I tested him out at home. I'd come into the room quietly and
whisper his name, or stand in the next room and speak softly to see if he
could hear me. The only time he's ever had a problem hearing me is if he's
engrossed in a TV program, then when I speak loud enough to break his
concentration, I get the 'huh?' of one who just realized they were being
spoken to. Aside from the loudness, he has shown no other sign of hearing
problem. (no speech difficulties, etc.)

Even his normal
difficult it is to be continuously mindful of your own
volume. I never was able to train myself to control my
volume for extended periods. I try to be mindful on
the phone so I don't hurt the other person's ears, but
if I become too intent on what the conversation is
about I forget about volume, and friend have told me
they have to hold the phone away from their ear. My dd
and close friends will remind me on the phone that I'm
too loud again. When I was a teen I was mortified by
my volume and tried very hard to control it- but, now
I've given up (except on the phone.) There are worse
burdens in life!

they haven't noticed ds not hearing or
misunderstanding speech then it is probably not the
case (but certainly worth ruling out.) I did think of
it though because I've been hearing impaired for about
10 years (a virus attacked the nerves in my ears - dr.
says it happens 1 time in about 100,000 virus cases,
can you believe that?!) anyway, since then I do know
I've become louder (dr. says hearing aids don't
usually help if cause is nerve damage - plus I'm not
bothered enough by it to want to use one.) But you can
tell I have a hearing problem because I sometimes give
inappropriate answers to questions (I don't really
hear the question, but brain tries to make sense out
of the sounds - so what I hear may not necessarily be
what was said. Sometimes the answers I give are
actually quite funny (even I think so when the
question is repeated.)

Hubby is that way. A clerk in a store once said to him, "why are you
hollering at me?" He was mortified because he doesn't realise that he is
that loud and he was taking something back so the loud with the return came
off as hollering.
Youngest kidlet is also that way. We never have to "look" for her at the
park, we just listen for the loudest kid and follow the sound <g>
