Research Topic: Hyperacusis: Prevalence, Types, and Contributing Factors

Research Project: My project investigates hyperacusis, a condition characterized by increased sensitivity to everyday sounds, often resulting in discomfort or pain. The study aims to explore the prevalence of hyperacusis in young adults, examine the various types (loudness, annoyance, fear, and pain hyperacusis), and identify key contributing factors, such as noise exposure and psychological comorbidities.

In my free time, I enjoy volunteering, painting, and going for walks.
