Definitions

Tinnitus

Tinnitus is a sensory phenomenon characterized by the perception of diverse auditory sensations within the ears or head, encompassing high-pitched tones, buzzing reminiscent of grasshoppers, simulated TV noises, and continuous hums, among others, despite the absence of any external auditory stimulus. This prevalent symptom impacts approximately 15-20% of the global population.
Hyperacusis (or Misophonia)

Decreased Sound Tolerance (DST), also known as hyperacusis or misophonia, is when certain everyday sounds can cause strong emotional reactions. People with DST might feel angry, frustrated, or anxious when they hear these sounds, and it can even make them feel depressed. This sensitivity to sound can make it hard to do everyday activities and can affect their overall well-being.
Hyperacusis means sounds seem louder than they really are, while misophonia means certain sounds bother them a lot. Understanding these conditions better can help find ways to help people cope and feel better.
