If someone already has sensitive hearing (loud noises) could it become worse?

Hyperacusis: Sensitive hearing could pose a problem. There are several reasons for this increased sensitivity- problems with stapes, auditory nerve, cochlea and cerebral processing of auditory impulses. See an ENT surgeon.
