Ways To Treat And Prevent Hyperacusis

Sound Therapy

Sound therapy is also called sound desensitization. The purpose of this therapy is to make it easier for patients to cope with sound. They will work with a trained therapist for this so the treatment is tailored specifically for the patient in question. Every day for a specific period, patients will listen to sounds. Initially, the sounds are relatively quiet, and as tolerance to sound builds, patients will listen to louder sounds. In most cases, this therapy is delivered through a special device worn on both ears. The sound typically does not cause pain since it is similar to static. It can take up to a year to achieve the full benefit.
