Listen "Hyperacusis"
Episode Synopsis
This composition draws its inspiration from the personal challenges faced by individuals with hyperacusis, where ordinary sounds become unrelenting intrusions. The piercing high-pitched layer reflects the sharp, often painful sensations triggered by unexpected noises, while the omnipresent background noise and heavy drone evoke the constant struggle to find calm amidst a chaotic auditory world.
The piece conveys the isolating experience of hyperacusis—the difficulty in navigating daily life, the avoidance of social settings, and the sense of vulnerability in a world that feels too loud. As the layers intertwine, the music mirrors the internal conflict: the yearning for silence, the burden of overstimulation, and the delicate balance required to endure the overwhelming soundscape of existence.
