= Hyperacusis
{wiki=Hyperacusis}
Hyperacusis is a medical condition characterized by an increased sensitivity to normal environmental sounds, which are perceived as overly loud or uncomfortable. Individuals with hyperacusis may experience pain, discomfort, or emotional distress in response to sounds that others find tolerable or even unnoticeable. The condition can affect people differently; some may be sensitive to specific frequencies or types of sounds, while others may have a broader range of sensitivity.
