Title: What Clinicians Should Know about Pain Hyperacusis and its Clinical Management (**Special NCRAR/ASHA SIG 6 offering)
Abstract: Pain hyperacusis (also referred to as noxacusis) is a condition characterized by physical pain that occurs in response to everyday sounds that do not bother most people. How sound causes excruciating pain that can last for weeks or months is not well understood, resulting in a lack of effective treatments. In this session, we will discuss what clinicians should know about pain hyperacusis, including common symptoms, etiologies, proposed mechanisms, potential interventions, and strategies for working with these patients.
Learner Outcomes: Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:
- Describe the different types of sound hypersensitivity disorders.
- Identify common symptoms associated with sound-induced pain.
- Discuss the strategies for clinical management of pain hyperacusis.
