Could all your 5 senses be off balance at once??

I have a question about my 8 year old daughter, Emily. I have noticed that all of her 5 senses seem to be out of whack. She's been to the eye doctor, and we were told that her eyes are VERY bad - the optomitrist couldn't even give her a whole prescription because he said the glasses would have been way too strong for her. So that's her eyes. Then there's her hearing - she always has the t.v on really loud, and I have to call her name over and over before she finally hears me. Her smell - I brought her to a farm, and we were in the barn with 100 cows, and it smelled disgusting in there - but Emily didn't smell a thing. Or when I'm cooking supper, she never smells it. Her touch - after Emily gets out of the shower or bathtub, she always, always complains about how she feels 'soft' and she can't stand it - and she hates the feel of certain materials (certain blankets, or clothes). And I'm not too sure about her taste, but she is overweight for her age (she's about 100lbs) and she always seems to be hungry - I'm wondering if maybe she isn't tasting the food properly, so she's never feeling satisfied??
Is it possible that all of her senses could be off balance at once? What do I do now??
Thanks so much!!!!!
