AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Introduction: Many of children with autism have hyperacusia, an increased sensation to sound. It can lead to their avoidance from some sounds or they may cover their ears. There was not found any published report about possible effect of any medication for improving hyperacusia in children with autism.
Case Report: The patient is a 5 and half year old girl with autism and hyperacusia. According to her mother's report, severity of hyperacusia was improved after taking risperidone.
Conclusion: Hyperacusia was improved after initiation of risperidone and disappeared after discontinuation of risperidone. It re-happened in the re-challenge test. This supports the possible role of risperidone. To the author's knowledge, this is the first report of possible risperidone effect on hyperacusia in the literature.

Objectives: Balloon dilation eustachian tuboplasty (BDET) has gained popularity as a treatment modality for chronic eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) in both adults and children. Although its safety and efficacy in the adult population have been well described, very few large-sample studies assessing its safety profile have been performed in the pediatric population. This study serves as a follow-up to a previously published analysis assessing the safety of BDET in the pediatric population.

Purpose: Hyperacusis (sound sensitivity) is well documented among adults, but little is known about hyperacusis in children. Here, we assess relationships among the presence of hyperacusis, audiometric profiles, and nonauditory factors in a pediatric clinical population.
Method: A retrospective review of clinical records from 329 children, ages 2-17 years, was performed to assess the prevalence of hyperacusis and correlations among hearing status, behavioral or communication concerns, and the presence of hyperacusis.
