There is usually no cure once noise sensitivity has started, because the common causes are noise damage and ageing damage to the inner ear. The good news is, in most cases, hyperacusis can be managed Treatment for hyperacusis
#Auditory sensitivity in children movie
Shopping centres, restaurants and movie theatres may be too loud. Some people find that everyday activities, such as driving a car, using a lawn mower, vacuum cleaner or power tool, watching the television or listening to music are problematic. If your hyperacusis is severe, you may find that you are uncomfortable leaving your home, and that your reduced tolerance for sound is affecting your career and social life. Audiological tests are used to assess the health of your ear. Diagnosis depends mainly on your description of your discomfort. There are no tests for diagnosing decreased sound tolerance. However, even if a tumour is found, not all cases require removal. A tumour is more easily removed if it is detected early. If you have intolerance to sound in one ear only, this should be investigated for an acoustic neuroma (a tumour) on the balance (vestibular) nerve. medical procedures – clearing a blocked ear canal may cause temporary increased sensitivity to sound.paralysis of the facial nerve – which can cause the mechanism in the middle ear that protects you from loud noise not to function.chronic exposure to noise, such as working in a noisy environment.one-off exposure to loud noise, such as an explosion.Some known causes of hyperacusis include:
cause a ‘popping’ sensation inside the ear.worsen your sensitivity to sound for some time.sudden, loud noise can cause discomfort and pain.low intensity sounds, such as the noise of a refrigerator, seem too loud.your own voice seems too loud or distorted.very quiet sounds are comfortable, but ordinary sounds (like voices at conversational volume) are too loud or distorted.The onset of hyperacusis can be gradual or sudden. Other types of reduced tolerance to sound include ‘loudness recruitment’ and ‘phonophobia’. Usually both ears are affected, although it is possible to have it in only one ear. Hyperacusis is often associated with tinnitus (buzzing, ringing or whistling noises in the ears) and distortion of sounds. The most common cause of hyperacusis is damage to the inner ear from ageing or exposure to loud noise. People with hyperacusis often find ordinary noises too loud, and loud noises uncomfortable or painful. Hyperacusis is a type of reduced tolerance for sound.
