Talk:Hyperacusis

message: The first spelling would seem to link to 'acute' while the second would link to 'acoustic';  on the wider web both spellings occur.  The slightly larger consensus is for acoustic but there should be a redirect 86.155.91.42 (talk) 16:01, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  hyperacusis ? hyperacousis 

message: I think it should be mentioned that people with Hyperacusis, on almost a daily basis, encounter little to no understanding from others for their condition. For example, if a person with Hyperacusis asks to be seated away from noisy children, they usually are made to confront the parent and try to explain this to them, where the parent will attack the person with Hyperacusis claiming they're lying or "looking for attention"
There needs to be more awareness about this, that people who have Hyperacusis cannot choose to not experience pain when it comes to sudden loud noises. It is real pain, that in some cases, can be so severe the person may feel a need to scream from it. White noise & Pink noise can help, but as far as I'm aware there is no cure for Hyperacusis. I find it hard to function as someone with Hyperacusis, in a world where people treat me as if my pain in regards to it is insignificant. 
Particularly, parents need to understand this isn't about them, their children, or their parenting abilities. It's a person who doesn't want to disturb their children, who is going out of their way to think of the children first. Only to be called a child hater, or told they know nothing because they aren't a parent. It's also common for parents to yell at the person with Hyperacusis, causing them pain and anxiety. They're only assuring that people with Hyperacusis see parents as agressive, or something to be fearful of, in regards to their Hyperacusis. I also, don't mean this in regards to all parents, but most of the ones I've come across have had this attitude that I must be lying for attention, when I have a real condition that can cause me real pain.Violet yoshi (talk) 18:50, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Stigma

thread_title:  Newly developed theoretical framework  

message: The article opens with: “Hyperacusis is a highly debilitating rare hearing disorder” (emphasis mine). But it then goes on to say: “Hyperacusis is often coincident with tinnitus. Both conditions have a prevalence of about 10–15%”
10-15% does not really seem “rare” to me at all. Should we remove that word from the intro?

thread_title:  Rarity 

message: Over-protection (by wearing earmuffs and ear plugs) can also cause hyperacusis. I think it's important to include this in the article. That's how my case began; it's real and it's serious. I have also read and talked to others who went through the same.
Also, probably almost every book, like Tinnitus Retraining Therapy mentions it as a worsening factor.

thread_title:  Over-protection 

message: There has been recent research that suggests noxacusis is caused by the type II nerves acting as pain neurons in a response to damage of the outer hair cells. This is one of the most cited research papers on the subject
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4664349/ 
Here is Megan Beers Wood discussing the subject on an article by Hyperacusis Research. She had just received a grant from them to further research the subject.

I believe adding this information to the noxacusis section would be helpful. 
EDIT: I just realized that this is discussed under Neurophysiological mechanisms. Please ignore my post.

message: Hi
I had added a photo of a hyperacusis patient that I took myself... and it was removed. I was wondering why? If this was inappropriate, please let me know?
Thank you
