    New Onset of Pain Hyperacusis from Headphones/Dental Procedures/Bad Posture?

    I've noticed this too recently. Car brakes sound a bit louder and more ear piercing than normal. Not sure if I've had this since onset of dysacusis or if I just never noticed until recently. Is this new for you or did you experience this when you first got distortions?
