Both Loud: Hyperacusis (Misophonia) is a hearing disorder that results in difficulty tolerating sounds that would not bother most people. Recruitment is the rapid growth of perceived loudness for those sounds located in the pitch region of a hearing loss. Both sound loud, but in hyperacusis, there is an emotional response to the sounds whereas in Recruitment, there is underlying cochlear disease.
