Electronic noise - suggestion to help with jerks/shakes

[Lady4]

I asked another group member and thought I would post their reply here:

I use AirPods with noise cancellation and conversation awareness . This way you can dim the noise and still listen to someone speak. I use them at church, the grocery store , gatherings, movie theater, live plays, sport events, and basically every! Also vibrations from sounds cause my shakes, so if I don’t have tools on hand then I rub and lightly tap ( play a piano scale back and forth with my fingers) my legs/arms/ head to let my body know where I’m in space and that I’m safe.

Thanks for these suggestions.The jury seems to be out, on whether it is best to reduce/avoid the noise that triggers the shakes (tics, vocalisations) or gradually try to desensitise yourself. Therapy in the area of hypersensitivity seems to be very scarce .. what's new?

I asked her what "tools" she also used, as I knew she would be referring to sensory. I think she has been to Re-Active and was one of the original members too l and will see if she has had an interview with them that has been posted.

Thanks for investigating further. The rubbing she suggests would act as a stimulant on my body, and it would react with more shaking/noises as would the stroking suggested by Prof Mcglone ..difficult.
