If you think you have hyperacusis you should visit your GP.
They may refer you to a specialist in audiology/audiological medicine or the ear, nose and throat (ENT) department in your local hospital. They will be able to investigate your hearing system to try to find a cause for your hyperacusis and to advise you on the most appropriate treatment.
You may need specialised hearing therapy, usually from a hearing therapist. You may also be referred to a clinical psychologist or behavioural therapist to help you manage the anxiety, phobia, stress and avoidance, which are associated with hyperacusis and may make it worse.
