Who is this surgery for?
- Diagnosis of hyperacusis, where ordinary sounds (e.g., dishes clinking, car engines) cause pain, discomfort, or fear.
- Condition often associated with tinnitus (ringing in the ears).
- Linked to other conditions such as migraine, head injury, Lyme disease, or certain neurological disorders.
- Presence of sound sensitivity causing significant anxiety, social withdrawal, or functional impairment.
- Failure of simple sound protection (earplugs) to manage the condition, as overuse can worsen sensitivity.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive audiological evaluation to confirm diagnosis and establish baseline loudness discomfort levels.
- Detailed medical history review to identify any underlying associated conditions.
- Discussion of symptoms, triggers, and impact on daily life with the ENT specialist.
- Possible referral to a psychologist or therapist for concurrent cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
- Acquiring sound generators or apps as recommended by the audiologist for the sound therapy protocol.
Risks & possible complications
- Since treatment is non-invasive, there are no surgical risks like infection or bleeding.
- Initial increase in anxiety or discomfort during the early stages of sound therapy.
- Potential for temporary frustration if progress is slow or expectations are not immediately met.
- In rare cases, improper use of sound therapy without professional guidance could lead to inadequate improvement.
- Underlying conditions (e.g., migraine) may continue to require separate management.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Recovery is a gradual process of habituation, not a post-operative healing period.
- Consistent daily use of prescribed sound therapy devices or apps is crucial.
- Regular follow-up appointments with the audiologist to adjust therapy levels and track progress.

I was a total wreck before...
I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor on my own and I was convinced it was something serious. Dr. Muthusamy just had this calm way about him. He listened to all my jumbled-up worries, did a quick check, and explained everything in a way that actually made sense. Walked out feeling silly for being so nervous, but mostly just relieved.
