2025-08-18 18:30 - 19:30 UTC
Our guest speaker is Charlotte Bigras (M.P.A) who will be giving us a talk on “Noise Sensitivity or Hyperacusis? Comparing the Weinstein and Khalfa Questionnaires in a Community and a Clinical Sample”.

Joanna Barker (Audiologist, Specialist in Tinnitus, Hyperacusis and Misophonia Rehabilitation) will be hosting this Patient Education online meeting. Our August meeting is planned for 18th August 2025 6:30 to 7:30 PM (UK time).

Charlotte will be sharing a presentation with us which examines how two tools, the Hyperacusis Questionnaire (HQ) and the Noise Sensitivity Scale (NSS), help us understand sound tolerance issues. By comparing their use in healthy adults and veterans, it reveals important insights into the overlap and differences between hyperacusis and noise sensitivity, shedding light on these often-misunderstood conditions.

There will be the chance to ask Charlotte any questions, so please join live to get her expert opinion on noise sensitivity and hyperacusis. This talk aims to empower people with the knowledge and tools to take control of their journey with these conditions. Are you taking CBT or planning to do so? This talk is for you!
