Heavy metals: Heavy metals, like mercury, directly affect the central and peripheral nervous system. Chronic exposures can cause all manner of derangements of visual and auditory systems. Consider mercury sources: silver dental fillings, seafoods, fluorescent lightbulbs.

Dysacussis: Intolerance to loud noises (dysacussis) is often associated with a high frequency hearing loss. Irritability is the anxiety associated with the intolerance. It is obvious that an ENT exam and audiogram is necessary for a proper diagnosis and possible treatment. The symptoms require an appropriate diagnosis.
