Hyperacusis is a hearing disorder that makes it hard to deal with everyday sounds. You might also hear it called sound or noise sensitivity.
“For so long I couldn’t do anything as simple as going out. Children playing, music, the sound of waves at the beach, the sound of my own voice — things that are supposed to make me happy made me flinch. After the surgery, I was looking out over the crowd and not believing that I was there laughing and talking like everyone else. It was surreal; I wasn’t in pain.”
