Original comment was talking about Hyperacusis, and it sounds like for them it's way worse than Tinnitus, causing them physical pain just going outside for a walk. I have Tinnitus also and going outside is actually soothing for my ears, as the ambient noise of nature masks the ringing a bit.

Tinnitus does interfere with my ability to concentrate from time to time, though. Not great for a job where concentration is required most of the time.
