The girl in this unusual fact experienced “Acoustic Shock “ which can trigger extreme sound sensitivity known as HYPERACUSIS.

Very commonly experienced by neurodivergent individuals.

Hyperacusis is a very common cause of tinnitus particularly in people with normal hearing.

In Hyperacusis, hearing brain’s internal automatic volume control is set too high.

Sound desensitisation therapy is the only treatment that works.

Long and very boring video but a must needed one- for people struggling with ear related problems and for professionals involved in their care.

Are we empathising enough with our patients who present with annoyance induced by aural and auditory symptoms?

I have had some minor tinnitus in left ear for like 2 years. Last week after middle ear infection it started screaming ...thankfully I am in this profession else I do not know how I would have managed. Thinking about everyone struggling with this internal and nonstop annoyance.

Australians used to fly overseas just to get Lenire, the bimodal neuromodulation device for tinnitus. Not anymore. It is now available in Australia, and our Melbourne clinic is one of the first to provide it.

Every patient starts with a full tinnitus assessment. If Lenire is not the right fit, we will discuss other options such as Tinnitus Retraining Therapy.

Call 03 9886 7157 or see the link in our bio.

Did your phone go off at 2pm today?

That was the AusAlert national test. Ten seconds of siren, full volume, even on silent.

Most people jumped and moved on. But if you live with tinnitus, hyperacusis or misophonia, we know that sound may have landed very differently.

So we are asking:

🔊 Did you receive the alert?
🔊 Did you find it annoying, or worse?
🔊 Were you worried about what it might do to your ears?
🔊 Have you noticed anything since, like a tinnitus spike or ears feeling more sensitive than usual?

Nothing at all? Tell us that too. Every answer helps us understand how sudden alerts land on sensitive auditory systems.

Some reassurance. Ten seconds of alert at phone volume will not damage your hearing. What it can do is trigger your auditory alarm system. Your brain treats sudden unexpected sound as a threat, and if your system is already sensitised, the reaction can continue well after the siren stops.

Tell us your experience in the comments. We read every one.

And if your ears are still ringing tonight or you have felt on edge since, that is worth paying attention to. Our DMs are open, or call us on 03 9886 7157.

There’s a film out at the moment called Tuner.

The main character has hyperacusis. He was a pianist, sound became painful, and now he tunes pianos and wears ear protection to get through an ordinary day.

The poster calls it a hidden talent.

We’ve only watched the trailer so far. It’s on Prime and Apple TV now, so we’ll watch it properly this week. We’re glad it exists. Most of the people who come to us have spent years being told they’re anxious or oversensitive, and a film does more for that in one weekend than we manage in a year.

But that tagline needs answering.

Hyperacusis isn’t a talent. The sound isn’t louder, the system is. Every auditory system has an automatic volume control. In hyperacusis it has turned itself up too far and stayed there, so ordinary sound arrives as too much. That isn’t a gift. It costs people their work and their family meals and it keeps the nervous system in fight or flight all day.

It responds to treatment. Swipe for how that works.

Send this to someone who struggles with sound sensitivity.

A lot of you have messaged asking what approach we actually use in the clinic, so we wanted to explain it properly.

We use Tinnitus Retraining Therapy, or TRT, for tinnitus, hyperacusis and misophonia. It always begins the same way. You are fitted with ear level sound devices, each one programmed to your own prescription.

You will also be trained in sound enrichment and sleep sound therapy, an essential component of the treatment.

The counselling side matters just as much. We take the time to explain what is happening in your brain and why sound is affecting you the way it does.

From there the plan is built around your condition, and that part really does differ. Misophonia, for instance, is not treated the same way as tinnitus or hyperacusis.

TRT was developed by Pawel and Margaret Jastreboff, and their published work shows around 80 percent of patients improve. Mini trained under them, and they still mentor her to this day, so what you get here is the real method rather than a watered down version of it.

Nobody should have to learn to live with tinnitus and sound sensitivity. If any of this sounds like you, have a read through our website at www.allearshearing.com.au, or call us on 03 9886 7157.
