Study how sound exposure affects hyperacusis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at how controlled sound exposure may affect people who have hyperacusis (hearing sounds that feel overly loud or uncomfortable). It may help researchers understand what types of sound exposure are most useful for this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your main problem is hyperacusis (sounds feel too loud or painful)
- Your main problem is not misophonia (distress to specific sounds like chewing)
- Your main problem is not tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears)
- You are not currently doing another treatment or therapy as part of the same problem

This study explores how common sound sensitivity issues are among teachers. Researchers want to understand if certain sounds bother teachers more than others, and whether this affects their work or well-being.
This study looks at how people with misophonia react to sounds that are hard to tolerate, like chewing or throat clearing. It explores whether slowly getting used to these sounds can change how you hear them.
This trial looks at how using platforms that change sound, like online meeting tools, might affect your hearing. It compares people who use these tools a lot with those who use them less.
This study looks at how people who have noise-related ear trauma perceive sounds, using a 3D (three-dimensional) sound setup. The results may help doctors better understand sound processing after acoustic injuries.
This study looks at how people with hearing aids perceive sound. It compares results between hearing-impaired and normal-hearing participants to better understand hearing challenges in daily life.
This trial tests using hearing aids with built-in tinnitus maskers to see if they help adults who have both hearing loss and ringing in the ears. It aims to find out if these devices improve hearing and reduce tinnitus symptoms.
