Hyperacusis can be extremely debilitating, and at present, there is no cure. In this detailed review of the field, we consolidate present knowledge in the hope of facilitating future research.
We review and reference the literature on hyperacusis and related areas. This is the 2nd of a 2-part review.
Hyperacusis encompasses a wide range of reactions to sounds, which can be grouped into the categories of excessive loudness, annoyance, fear, and pain. Reasonable approaches to assessing the different forms of hyperacusis are emerging, including brain-imaging studies. Researchers are only beginning to understand the many mechanisms at play, and valid animal models are still evolving. There are many counseling and sound-therapy approaches that some patients find helpful, but well-controlled studies are needed to measure their long-term efficacy and to test new approaches.
Hyperacusis can make life difficult in this increasingly noisy world, forcing sufferers to dramatically alter their work and social habits. We believe this is an opportune time to explore approaches to better understand and treat hyperacusis.
听觉过敏会使人极度虚弱，目前尚无治愈方法。在对该领域的详细综述中，我们整合现有知识，以期推动未来的研究。
我们回顾并参考了关于听觉过敏及相关领域的文献。这是一篇分为两部分的综述中的第二篇。
听觉过敏涵盖了对声音的广泛反应，可分为响度过大、烦恼、恐惧和疼痛等类别。评估不同形式听觉过敏的合理方法正在出现，包括脑成像研究。研究人员才刚刚开始理解其中起作用的多种机制，有效的动物模型仍在不断发展。有许多咨询和声音疗法，一些患者认为有帮助，但需要进行严格对照研究来衡量其长期疗效并测试新方法。
在这个日益嘈杂的世界里，听觉过敏会让生活变得艰难，迫使患者大幅改变工作和社交习惯。我们认为现在是探索更好地理解和治疗听觉过敏方法的契机。
