本研究探讨了听觉过敏的患病率和描述性特征，定义为不寻常的不容忍普通的环境声音。研究中使用了两种收集数据的方式：第一种是随机抽样的邮政调查，有589人回应（59.7%，回应率）;第二种是互联网，有595名自招募的个人通过网页上的横幅回应参与者（51.9%，回应率）。听阈亢进的时点患病率在互联网组为9%，在邮政组为8%。排除报告听力受损的参与者，点患病率分别为7.7%（n=39）和5.9%（n=28）。数据收集表未产生任何实质性差异。听觉过敏与注意力集中困难、使用耳保护、回避、紧张和对光/颜色敏感有关。目前的数据表明，听觉过敏是一个常见的问题。
The present study explored the prevalence and descriptive characteristics of hyperacusis, defined as unusual intolerance of ordinary environmental sounds. Two ways of collecting data were used in the study: the first was a postal survey of a random sample, to which 589 responded (59.7%, response rate); the second was the internet, and 595 self-recruited individuals responded to a call for participants via a banner on a web page (51.9% response rate). The point prevalence rates of hyperacusis were 9% in the internet group and 8% in the postal group. Exclusion of participants who reported hearing impairment resulted in point prevalence rates of 7.7%, (n=39) and 5.9% (n=28) respectively. The data collection formal did not result in any substantial differences. Hyperacusis was associated with concentration difficulties, use of ear protection, avoidance, tension, and sensitivity to light/colours. The present data suggest that hyperacusis is a common problem.
