|---|---|
| Original uncertainty examples | How can they tell whether it is recruitment or hyperacusis? ~ Can Misophonia (intolerance to biological sounds: breathing, swallowing of others) cause hyperacusis? ~ Is the assessment of hyperacusis different for tinnitus sufferers? ~ Should auditory processing of hyperacusis patients be looked at more closely rather than immediately diagnosing discomfort not objectively related to loudness as misophonia (the consequence of emotion)? Frequency, signal envelope, signal complexity, etc. may be involved independent of emotion and may in fact be evoking emotion in certain cases. |
