Book: Hyperacusis and Disorders of Sound Intolerance

[GoatSheep]

I have loudness hyperacusis (not pain hyperacusis) and my standard audiogram last November didn't show any losses. However, I had a worsening about 3 months ago and haven't had an audiogram since. I now have high frequency tinnitus that is not maskable usually. I'll have to talk to the doctor and get a new audiogram, I suppose. I was thinking of doing an extended audiogram to check the high frequencies too.

Do you think it's possible a hearing aid will help me @GoatSheep even with loudness hyperacusis? Or is it only advisable to avoid them if you have noxacusis?

Thanks for the help.

I have no idea honestly. I think I read of at least one person on here with hyperacusis getting benefit from a hearing aid. @Philip83.
