How to help a child who is afraid of loud noises

Patient's question:

My child is now 8 months old. Since birth, he has been very afraid of noises, and even now, any sudden sound will startle him greatly. The doctor said it's due to untreated frights in early childhood. We have just started giving him children's calming medicine. Is there anything else we can do?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the fear of loud noises is due to the child being timid. Since the little baby is only 8 months old now, as they grow older, if you often take the baby out to play, they will gradually meet many people and hear countless sounds. Over time, they will become bolder, and unusual noises will no longer seem strange.
I think this method will be a hundred times more effective than taking medicine. What do you think?
