I also have a child that I am suspecting has SID?

I would like some advice for my situation please. I have a 3 year old that at the sound of a balloon popping goes ballistic! She is very sensitive to loud sounds from motorcycles, to lawnmowers, even beeping sounds. Also, she doesn't like big crowds, every B-Day party we have she cries most of the time.

We were at the county fair yesterday and when we would go through the section where all the games and rides were, she would cover her ears and cry uncontrollably. I didn't even know how to help her. I feel so helpless. What are some techniques I can use to help her calm down?
