Dysacusis

Dysacusis is a hearing impairment characterized by difficulty in processing details of sound due to distortion in frequency or intensity rather than primarily a loss of the ability to perceive sound.[1] The term is sometimes used to describe pain or discomfort due to sound, a condition also known as auditory dysaesthesia.[2]
