Brief Answer:
Most probably you may be suffering from the hyperacusis
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern; and it suggests that most probably you may be suffering from the hyperacusis.
Patients suffering from hyperacusis may appear overly sensitive to a range of sounds, finding many noises unbearable and painfully loud. The most common is related to damage to the cochlea from exposure to loud noises.
But to rule out the other disease and for better management, I would like to suggest some tests
1. Otoscopic examination of the ear.
2. Pure tone audiometry and
3. Impedance audiometry.
Please discuss the above mentioned causes and tests with your doctor.
Regards
