Sorry that you're going through that. As someone who once had severe hyperacusis, I sympathize with your situation as my own whispers as well as keystrokes would hurt my ear. It was challenging to browse the web due to the inability to type in a website URL or input into a search bar.

One of the hardest parts of this disability is that it is invisible and so difficult to explain to a third party. People think you are overly dramatic.

In many cases, hyperacusis does get better on its own with time, so keep hanging in there.

Good luck to you.
