I get this for some sounds even if they are not loud and even if I know to expect them when my hyperacusis is bad. For example, someone opening a canned drink while sitting at the same table as I am. I will see them lifting the tab and the sound won't be very loud but I flinch. Is this common?
I have been pointed to the DSM for this reaction. Because the sound isn't loud, it is likely it is the processing of the sound where the fault is.
