Tinnitus
Tinnitus is defined as the perception of noise or sounds in the head or ears in the absence of an actual stimulus. Tinnitus is associated with many different medical pathologies, including hearing loss, acoustic trauma, closed head injury, disease processes, etc.
Hyperacusis
Abnormal sensitivity to everyday sound levels or noises, often sensitivity to higher-pitched sounds, in the presence of essentially normal hearing.
Misophonia
Abnormal response to auditory or visual triggers, misophonia typically starts in childhood and persists for life. The most common triggers include gum chewing, eating or breathing noises, repetitive sounds or gestures. Varies in degrees of severity.
Hearing Loss
Loss of hearing of various types, often noise induced or age related, most common in higher pitches, can be related to injury, disease or substances as well as medications. Most often hearing loss requires hearing aids.
