Phonophobia
Phonophobia is a fear of loud sounds. It can also mean a fear of voices, or a fear of one's own voice. It is a very rare phobia which is often the symptom of hyperacusis. They are easily startled by loud sound. Ordinary people are not startled even by sound of up to 180 decibels. Sonophobia can refer the hypersensitivity a patients to sound and can be part of a diagnosis of a migraine. Ligyrophobics may be fearful of devices that can suddenly emit loud sounds, such as computer speakers or fire alarms. When operating a home theater system, computer, television, CD player, etc., they may wish to have the volume turned down all the way before doing anything that would cause the speakers to emit sound, so that once the command to produce sound is given, the user can raise the volume of the speakers to a comfortable listening level. They may avoid parades and carnivals due to the loud instruments such as drums. As festive occasions are accompanied by music of over 120 decibels, many phobics develop agoraphobi. Other ligyrophobics also steer clear of any events in which fireworks are to be let off.
