T:Selective Sound Sensitivity Syndrome ( <num>S also called)	Q:Has anyone encountered this syndrome ? Basically ,  certain sounds almost are unbearable to the individual. There seems to be no cure for it. So far <num> <professional_practitioner> & <professional_practitioner> have not been able to help.  There is a web site for it but so far none of the people that suffer with it have been able to get any help. Looking forward to any replies Thank you.  	A:Have you looked into a condition called Hyperacusis?Sinus allergies can irritate the inner ear and distort how sound is perceived - I have some first hand experience with this.  Also,  might look into Lyme Disease - it can cause hypersensitivity to sounds. Make sure to see a Lyme-Literate <professional_practitioner> for testing,  since most non-Lyme-Literate <professional_practitioner>'s aren't familiar with the shortcommings of the tests. The Lyme Disease forum here at HealingWell has a number of knowledgeable folks to ask if you have further questions about Lyme.  A skilled <professional_practitioner> may also be able to help with this symptom. be aware that some but not all <professional_practitioner> are skilled with Homeopathics,  so be sure to ask specifically about the person's experience with Homeopathic treatment.  Good luck, 


A:Thank you for your response. I will check into what was suggested. Thanks again <name>


A:I do not like loud noises at all.  Very irritating.
