Research questions:

  • For people with autism and normal hearing who experience decreased sound tolerance::
  • Does use of sound reduction or exclusion devices or strategies result in permanent, long-term improvements in sound tolerance or functional listening skills? And how do improvements compare to:i.improvements as a result of normal developmentii.sound desensitization or other psychotherapy?* What is the risk of using sound reduction or exclusion devices leading to increased sensitisation and worsening DST? What therapies exist for DST (deafness) support therapy)? For those experiencing deficits: - In functional listening skills or auditory processing does use of sound-reduction or exclusion devices lead to lasting improvement compared no treatment at all?

Scheer et al (2022) found around half of parents surveyed had used ear-worn devices to reduce sound exposure, while half of those parents were satisfied with this strategy; Pfeiffer et al (2019a) suggests that both teachers and parents generally support using headphones during class time; Smith etal (2022), however, indicates patients suffering from misophonia are more inclined towards wearing earwires than undergoing active treatment methods for managing symptoms related specifically thereto. The guidelines on classroom design recommend incorporating noise reduction materials into educational environments aimed at enhancing learning experiences across all students’ demographics (Kulawiak & Mallory, Keehn). Potential benefits associated directly or indirectly with employing such technologies include:

  • improved comfort
  • enhanced focus levels
  • reduced perception of aversive sounds
  • decreased occurrence rates concerning problematic behaviors
  • increased engagement in social activities within communities
  • minimal cost considerations when compared against other alternatives like hearing aids. There is a substantial body of research indicating the efficacy thereof regarding reducing anxiety, stress-related issues while simultaneously improving attention spans amongst children diagnosed as having Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). One study noted how implementing acoustic barriers significantly boosted autistic individuals’ interaction capabilities among their peers (Mallory & Keehn); yet these findings remain largely confined to single-case studies due primarily owing insufficient sample sizes. Accordingly, it appears necessary further investigation should be conducted before drawing definitive conclusions about whether integrating sound-cancelling headsets could indeed constitute an evidence-based practice suitable for application inside classrooms; as per Kulawiak’s analysis. Additionally, a number of potential drawbacks exist pertaining exclusively toward excluding certain auditory stimuli altogether including but not limited to discomfort experienced by those wearing earwires; difficulty comprehending spoken language content; hindering linguistic development processes; limiting opportunities for meaningful interpersonal exchanges; stigmatizing affected students publicly; and last but certainly not least - financial burdens especially related specifically thereto involving home modifications required therein.
  • dependence on device / increased sensitization (Danesh etal., 2021; Neave-diToro et al.,2021 Kulawiak*, 2021* Mallory & Keehn**, 2021) Agency. Regarding the last point, there appears to be consensus that the goal for the clinician should be desensitization of the patient’s auditory system and that overprotection due to the use of noise reducing or excluding technology may eventually cause harm (Henry etal., 2022).However, this does not mean that any use of ear-worn devices or sound-reducing environmental modifications doing avoided For example noise-cancelling headphones may part gradual process de-sensitization.For people autistic Danesh etal. (*2021) recommend: … it is important to desensitize an child with hyperacusis sounds reduce unnecessary protection as help symptoms rather than tackling sensitivity However this desensitization done more tact gradually timeline Autistic children need initially protect themselves against hyperacusis noise cancelling head phones later working closely parent clinicians can start implement desensitization (p.551). For general population Henry et al ( extbf{2022}) recommend: Patients aware loud sound damage exacerbate [the patients] sound tolerance condition necessitating appropriate hearing protection They also understand however inappropriate” use hearing protection can their sound-tolerance condition Some patients use because believe certain sounds will tinnitus or sound tolerance condition worse Need educated overuse result heightened sensitivity perception occlusion effect … If such has occurred then important take steps reverse by gradually reducing using hearing protection These must progress point only they use when exposed system (Henry et al., extbf{2022}, p. extbf{ extcolor{red}{5}})

Therapies: Recommendations for treatment DST include habituation training cognitive behavioural therapy dialectical behaviour therapy and tinnitus retraining therapy Danesh etal. (** extbf{2}*** 2021) suggest cognitive behavioral therapy habitation proven effective in the treatment of hyperacusis Henry etal. (2022) note that treatment usually involves element exposure counselling to address anxiety avoidant symptoms Exposure element implemented ear-worn devices headphones or hearing aids which gradual increase aims at desensitisation Nolan etal.(***** extbf{2} extbf{} 2020*) conducted retrospective study with

They found that CBT with components of musical therapy, different relaxation techniques, and directed attention could significantly reduce symptoms of tinnitus, hyperacusis and associated psychological symptoms such as depression. They suggest that further research is needed to demonstrate the efficacy for patients with hyperacusis alone. Misophonia can also be treated with cognitive behavioural therapy, though there is less evidence of its efficacy (Henry etal.,). In the first randomised controlled trial for the treatment of misophonia,Jager etal.(), Jager et al (2020) found 10 of the 27 subjects in the treatment group improved significantly with cognitive behavioura ltherapyandthe results weremaintained after one-year follow up.Other psychotherapiesthat targetassociatedsymptomsofmisophoniasuchas anxiety or obsessive-compulsive symtoms mayalsobeeffective(Henry etal.[ ]{:(}#[ref-Henry-et-al-2022])Ferrer-Torres & Giménez-Llort,(][#ref-FerrerTorres-GimenezLlorrt-2022))As fear isthe main component of phonophobia,counselling such as therapies already mentionedmay assist to decouple sounds and negative associations((Henrey etal,)(]][#ref-Henry-et-al-2022]).
