Rebuilding Your Tolerance

Silence makes it worse. The more you protect, the more sensitive you become.

The Protection Trap

You wear earplugs to avoid pain. You try to protect yourself but avoiding sounds often makes us more sensitive.

Central Gain

It is not simply about your hearing but how your brain is processing sound. When the brain is over-responsive, it amplifies the loudness of the sound-It's like looking at a phone screen in a dark room. It hurts. But turn on the lights (background sound), and the screen becomes comfortable.

Desensitization

We use CBT to methods to gradually increase sound tolerance and help your brain to relearn that sounds can be safe to be around.
