An English woman suffering from a rare condition known as painful hyperacusis says that everyday noises, such as her children’s laughter, her friends’ voices, and even music cause her paralyzing (麻痹的) pain.

Until 18 months ago, Karen Cook worked as a cabin crew and lived a perfectly normal life with her husband and their two boys. But then she started experiencing something strange and painful. In 2022, Karen’s hyperacusis suddenly set in. All of a sudden, sound became a problem for her. The voices of loved ones, chatting with friends, or listening to her favorite music caused her unbearable headaches to the point where she began to seclude herself just to make them stop.

Ever since she was originally diagnosed with hyperacusis, Karen has been trying to cure, or at least keep its symptoms in check, but things have been getting worse. She now spends most of her time indoors, because she can’t handle all the noise of the outside world, and even when she is home alone, she wears earplugs and noise blockers to protect herself.

“Something as beautiful as my children’s laughter, hearing their voices, is like pain for me,” the 49-year-old woman said. “I would sit and watch them through the window opening their Christmas presents because it was too noisy for me to be in the room and they would come up to the window and show them to me.”

Karen, from Southport, in the northwest of England, used to be very active and outdoorsy, but today her main priority is protecting herself from the physical pain caused by sound. Her life has changed completely and the only thing that keeps her going is her kids. She is determined to fight and hopefully find a way to treat this condition, but so far nothing has worked.
