Summary:

This book, edited by Marc Fagelson and David M. Baguley, provides a comprehensive exploration of hyperacusis and disorders of sound intolerance from both clinical and research perspectives. It aims to address the experiences of individuals who perceive everyday sounds as distressing or painful, a condition often overlooked in audiology. The book is divided into sections covering definitions, measurement, epidemiology, mechanisms, and management of sound intolerance. It includes discussions on the relationship between hyperacusis and tinnitus, psychological aspects, and therapeutic interventions. The volume is intended for audiologists, otologists, and other healthcare professionals interested in auditory disorders, with the goal of bridging the gap between auditory neuroscience and clinical practice.
