Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Otolaryngology
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Hyperacusis is a debilitating condition impacting quality of life, yet research on its features, including gender differences, remains limited.
  • Understanding potential gender-specific aspects of hyperacusis is crucial for developing effective clinical interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate and evaluate potential gender disparities among individuals diagnosed with hyperacusis.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature search was performed on the MedLine database, focusing on adult hyperacusis patients published within the last 20 years.
  • Four peer-reviewed studies meeting Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines were included, analyzing data from 604 patients.
  • Standardized questionnaires (VAS, THI, TSCH, MASH) were used to assess attentional, social, and emotional factors related to hyperacusis.

Main Results:

  • The review encompassed data from 282 hyperacusis patients (125 females, 157 males).
  • Analysis of the included studies indicated no discernible gender-specific differences in hyperacusis among the studied populations.
  • Subjective measures of hyperacusis severity and impact showed similar patterns in both males and females.

Conclusions:

  • Current literature suggests that hyperacusis affects males and females similarly.
  • Given the subjective nature of hyperacusis, further research employing advanced assessment tools is recommended to comprehensively understand its characteristics.
