Treatments for hyperacusis
Managing hyperacusis involves gradually:
- reducing the sufferer’s over-reliance on hearing protection devices, such as earplugs. One way is to wear a special kind of earplug (called non-linear earplugs). These block loud sounds, but still allow quieter sounds to be heard.
- reintroducing normal sound levels using therapeutic noise generators or hearing aids, in combination with counselling.
