If hyperacusis is caused by another condition, such as migraines or Lyme disease, treating the condition may stop your hyperacusis. If there's no clear cause, you may be offered treatment to help make you less sensitive to everyday sounds. This could be sound therapy to get you used to everyday sounds again, and may involve wearing ear pieces that make white noise. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to change the way you think about your hyperacusis and reduce anxiety may also be offered. Do try some relaxation techniques, such as breathing exercises.

Your doctor also may give you medicine to help you manage the stress the condition can cause. Treatment will depend on what caused it. In some cases, like with injuries to your brain or ear, the sound sensitivity might get better on its own. If it doesn't, the doctor might suggest something called sound desensitization. You'll work with a specialist who’ll help you learn to deal with sound. There hasn't been enough research done on other hyperacusis treatments to know if they're helpful. These include acupuncture and relaxation exercises. Another option, auditory integration therapy (AIT), is often used in autism treatment.

If you are experiencing these symptoms, please discuss with your medical professional for advice on treatment and management. The Ménière's Society recommends you always consult your GP, consultant or therapist for professional guidance before you begin, change, temporarily suspend or discontinue any treatment/procedure, medication, exercise or diet. Read more about hyperacusis and sound sensitivity, including information about treatment, on the NHS website.

There are no specific medicines or operations that can treat hyperacusis. Treating any underlying cause may help resolve the problem. If there's no clear cause, specialist techniques to help reduce your sensitivity to noise may be recommended. Hyperacusis can also be a side effect of certain medications. If you're taking any medication, check the leaflet it comes with to see if hyperacusis is listed as a possible side effect. Treatment may involve cognitive behavioural therapy, counselling and education, sound therapy, and lifestyle changes. Research suggests patients often feel CBT, counselling and education are the most effective treatments. Some people also found sound therapy helpful, but it wasn't clear whether it provided any additional benefit.
