Role of Exposure in Hyperacusis
May 9, 2023 updated by: University Hospital, Antwerp
Effect of Psychoeducation Upon Exposure to Sounds and Hyperacusis Severity
This study focuses on patients with a primary complaint of hyperacusis.
Hyperacusis has been defined as 'abnormally reduced tolerance to sound'.
It shows a high comorbidity with tinnitus, the perception of sound in the absence of a sound source.
For the period of one month, hyperacusis and tinnitus severity and exposure to sounds will be evaluated by use of Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) in all participants.
A novel approach to assessments, EMA prompts participants during their daily life to answer short questionnaires, increasing ecological validity and minimizing the risk for recall and memory biases.
At a randomized time point during the one-month period, participants will individually receive a single psychoeducation session (1h) delivered by an experienced audiologist.
The goal of the study is to investigate if the psychoeducation session leads to an increase in exposure to sound and a decrease in hyperacusis severity.

Experimental: Psychoeducation
The goal of the psychoeducation session is to provide insight in the hyperacusis symptoms, take away the fear of external noises, and encourage exposure to noise.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in EMA questions from baseline to end of the study
Time Frame: 8 random time points each day during the period of the study, from baseline and after intervention, though study completion for an average of 1 month
|
Change in questions concerning exposure, hyperacusis and tinnitus during the day from baseline measurement to last day of the study period

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Hyperacusis Questionnaire
Time Frame: before intervention, immediately post intervention
|
Hyperacusis severity self-report questionnaire, ranging from 0-42 with a higher score representing a higher sensitivity to sounds.
A score of 28 is the cut-off for auditory hypersensitivity.

Tinnitus Functional Index (TFI)
Time Frame: before intervention, immediately post intervention
|
Tinnitus severity self-report questionnaire, ranging from 0-100 with a higher score representing a more severe tinnitus
