Re: Question for

I make absolutely no apology for recommending these two old books. Doctors then had to rely on their wits, listen to patients and were not distracted by test results of dubious relevance. I have just checked out some modern textbooks which are likely to be consulted instead:

1. Oxford Textbook of Medicine 2010. No mention of Audiosensitivity, Hyperacusis, Misophonia or Phonophobia in 5518 pages of text.

2. Sadock: Comprehensive Textbook of Psychiatry 2009. Nil on AS, MA, PA. HA defined in Glossary, but no mention in 4520 pages of text.

3. Brain's Diseases of the Nervous System 2009. Nil on AS, HA, PA in 1456 pages. HA defined in Chapter on Hearing Disorders, but no example given.

4. Jackler, Brackman: Neurotology 2005. Nil on AS or MA in 1362 pages. PA is characterised as "some sounds can elicit fear in some individuals with pain", and as a symptom of Migraine (along with other symptoms of Meniere's disease). HA is noted as an accompaniment of tinnitus and which may indicate a common cause, and as occurring in syndrome. I could find no mention of sound sensitivity in the 17-page chapter on Meniere's, though peripheral vestibular hyperactivity was mentioned.

One reason I read these old books is because I learn things. For example, Wilde says that there may be a period of sound hypersensitivity after wax removal. Clearly something odd is happening in the ear, but at this stage I have no idea what. This tells me more about the likely cause of audiosensitivty than the 12856 pages in the above megatomes.

So, to add to what I have said below about the likely reaction of doctors to someone presenting with sound sensitivity, you are likely to be met with blank stares or lack of interest from psychiatrists, neurologists, general practitioners and even many otologists. So the best bet is still a 200y old aural surgeon!
