hyperacusia
Hyperacusia is a medical condition characterized by an increased sensitivity to certain frequencies and volume ranges of sound, leading to discomfort or pain. People with hyperacusia may find normal environmental sounds to be unbearably loud or overwhelming, significantly affecting their daily life. It is commonly associated with tinnitus, a hearing disorder that causes a constant ringing in the ears.
