How do i solve my hypersensitivity to sound? besides earplugs.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on diagnossi: Do you know why you are hypersensitive to sounds? This could be a neurological issue, it could be due to migraines, it you've had this all your life it could just be congenital. Is it one or both ears. If only one ear, could be something serious, a problem in that side of your auditory system, worse case scenario a tumor. Unlikely, but see your dr. To rule out something serious but treatable!
