This is mainly caused by hearing loss related damage in the inner ear.<ref name="pmid26139435">{{cite journal | vauthors = Brotherton H, Plack CJ, Maslin M, Schaette R, Munro KJ | title = Pump up the volume: could excessive neural gain explain tinnitus and hyperacusis? | journal = Audiology & Neuro-Otology | volume = 20 | issue = 4 | pages = 273β82 | year = 2015 | pmid = 26139435 | doi = 10.1159/000430459 | s2cid = 32159259}}</ref> The mechanism behind hyperacusis is not currently known, but it is suspected to be caused by damage to the inner ear and [[cochlea]].
