What is Hyperacusis?
Hyperacusis is an increased sensitivity to sounds, making everyday noises painful or difficult to tolerate.
It can cause stress, fatigue, anxiety, and social discomfort.
At HyperAcouphenesEurope, we understand these challenges and provide comprehensive support to help improve your quality of life.
“Making the Invisible Visible”
Painful hyperacusis and tinnitus are injuries you cannot see.
No cast. No visible scar.
Yet a once familiar soundscape becomes hostile.
Every noise, every voice, every clap can feel like an invisible blade.
This is not “all in the head.”
It’s in the nerves, in the auditory system, in the whole body tensing at every sound.
A pain that isolates, that traps, because the world cannot see what you cannot see.
Yet hyperacusis is not a weakness.
It is an invisible challenge, faced with immense strength, every single day.
Today, it is time to make visible what so many endure in silence.
Speak about it. Listen without judgment.
A sound may be harmless to you, but a torment for someone else.
Together, let’s raise our voices for those who can no longer bear the noise.
Because understanding is already a form of relief.

Hyperacusis and tinnitus are invisible and often misunderstood forms of suffering:
Sound hypersensitivity, sometimes painful.
Ringing, buzzing, or constant noises (tinnitus).
Isolation, fatigue, and psychological distress.
Lack of recognition and access to rights.
A shortage of effective solutions and reliable information.
What We Want to Say to People Affected by Hyperacusis and Tinnitus
Beyond emotional support, we want to be a force for action.
People living with hyperacusis and tinnitus are often confined to their homes, isolated, misunderstood, and suffering in silence. They are not only waiting for online meetings or comforting words , they are asking for real, tangible help.
Our commitment is clear:
To make the invisible visible by raising awareness of hyperacusis and tinnitus as real and disabling conditions.
To fight tirelessly for better medical, social, and institutional recognition.
To advance research, because without research there is no future, no treatments, and no lasting hope.
To take action on the ground, so that no one feels alone, abandoned, or unheard.
We want to offer what matters most: hope, but also real solutions.
Through donations, we can support research, raise public awareness, and stand up for those who no longer have the strength to fight alone.
Because behind every person living with hyperacusis or tinnitus, there is a life on hold, an invisible struggle , and an urgent need for action.
