Moderate to loud level sounds (e.g. elevated voices, emergency sirens) can be distressing for someone with hyperacusis. It is often found co-occurring with hearing loss and tinnitus.
This heightened sensitivity can cause distress, anxiety, and avoidance of noisy environments, affecting daily life and overall well-being. Treatment options include sound therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and the use of ear-level devices to help gradually desensitise the auditory system. Managing stress and maintaining good hearing health can also assist individuals in coping with the challenges of hyperacusis.
Feel free to contact the clinic to arrange a full diagnostic hearing assessment with one of our audiologists.
