Physiological mechanisms of hyperacusis: an update | ENT & Audiology News
Do you feel you are overly sensitive to sound? Does anyone you know claim to hear noises that you can barely hear? When you complain about noise, do people often ask you, what noise? If you are one of the almost 40% of the population suffering...
The challenges living with extreme noise sensitivity, hyperacusis, a severe form of sound sensitivity. Often caused by medical conditions, physical trauma
Development of effective therapies for chronic hyperacusis will require establishment of an animal model to better understand its mechanisms

PurposeAudiologists should be treating hyperacusis patients. However, it can be difficult to know where to begin because treatment protocols and evidence-based treatment studies are lacking. A good...
INTRODUCTION As we strive to be more active, healthy and mobile, the hips are put under a large amount of stress. With the increase in functional training, more emphasis is being placed on squatting, lunging, deadlifting and Olympic lifting. Functional exercises are essential in any training program, but for these exercises to be performed correctly,
Noise sensitivity with MS Hyperacusis abnormal acuteness of hearing due to increased irritability of the sensory neural mechanism; characterized by...
This article by Iver Juster MD is the first of a series focusing on hyperacusis insights from the 2022 Association for Research in Otolaryngology (ARO)—and part of a larger Hyperacusis Research series on hyperacusis-related research about the biology, diagnosis, patient experience and treatment of this life-changing condition. In doing so, we’ll sometimes look at research […]
Tinnitus, Hyperacusis (increased sensitivity to noise), and the Autonomic Nervous System. I will discuss a major breakthrough that will hopefully help your ...
High-riding jugular bulb extending above the level of internal auditory canal - sigmoid plate lies between the middle ear cavity and jugular foramen - can be associated with bleeding during surgery. When it comes into contact with inner ear structures, it can cause tinnitus, hearing loss, a conductive hyperacusis, and Meniere's disease type symptoms.
Our vision tells us where we are in space and plays an important role in helping us maintain our balance. When our eyes are not functioning correctly and/or are not working together, vestibular symptoms can arise. Some vestibular disorders may result in hearing problems, such as hearing loss, tinnitus (the perception of a constant ringing or other sound) and hyperacusis (sensitivity to sound). Managing vision and hearing problems appropriately is part of an effective vestibular treatment plan.
It’s dinner time. You prepare for battle. You put the spaghetti down and find yourself tensing up. It doesn’t take long. One slurp. One fork scraping teeth. The screaming begins. The doors get slammed. Dinner is over. This happens every night. But, it’s not just dinner. There are many other sounds that cause your child to rage out of control. Misophonia has been destroying the peace in your house. Misophonia triggers are everywhere. Misophonia triggers aren’t about noises being perceived as too loud (hyperacusis), it is about pattern-based noises triggering the limbic system, causing suffers to instantly feel rage, disgust and anxiety when exposed to certain noises.
Olfactory nerve (CN I /sensory) - Responsible for smell Anosmia, (inability to smell), hyposmia (reduced ability to smell), Dysomia, smells become mixed up Optic nerve (CN II/sensory) - Responsible for vision Scotomas (blind spots) defect of vision in a defined area in one or both eyes. Optical neuropathologies show up as a partial or complete loss of vision Oculomotor nerve (CN III /motor) - Controls most of the eye's movements, along with accommodation, eyelid opening, and pupillary constriction Diplopia, ptosis, loss of accommodation Pupillary involvement: In compressive lesions, the pupil becomes dilated and non-reactive In ischemic lesions (e.g., diabetes mellitus) the pupil is spared Trochlear nerve (CN IV/motor) - Controls the superior oblique extraocular muscle Difficulty looking down, head tilt away from the side of the lesion Jaw deviation towards the side of the lesion Trigeminal nerve (CN V/both) - Responsible for facial movement, chewing, temperature, touch, pain Absent corneal reflex, absent sensation in sensory distribution, weakness, and wasting of the muscles of mastication. Jaw deviation towards the side of the lesion Abducens nerve (CN VI/motor) - Eye movement. Controls the lateral rectus extraocular muscle Horizontal diplopia Facial nerve (CN VII/both) - It's sensory functions include being responsible for taste from the anterior 2/3 of the tongue. It's motor functions include control of the muscles of facial expression, the stapedius muscle in the middle ear and closing of the eyelid Bell's palsy, loss of blink reflex Hyperacusis (when the stapedius is involved) Vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII/sensory) - It divides into the vestibular nerve which is responsible for balance/equilibrium and visual fixation during movement and the cochlear nerve which is responsible for hearing Deafness, tinnitus, vertigo, dizziness, nausea, nystagmus, loss of balance and ataxia Glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX/both) - Swallowing and taste sensation for the posterior 1/3 of the tongue, monitoring blood pressure, oxygen and carbon dioxide loss of taste sensation to the posterior one-third of the tongue, and impaired swallowing Vagus nerve (CN X/both) - Heart rate regulation, respiratory drive regulation, palate elevation, swallowing and talking Palate droop, dysphagia, deviation of the uvula away from the side of the lesion, loss of gag reflex (the sensory component of this reflex is mostly via CN IX) Accessory nerve (CN XI/motor) - Head-turning and shoulder shrugging via innervation of the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles Weakness with turning of the head, shoulder droop Hypoglossal nerve (CN XII/motor) - Tongue movement Tongue deviation towards the side of the lesion
