🎬 Have you heard about the new film Tuner?
The film follows a piano tuner named Niki, who lives with hyperacusis – a condition that causes everyday sounds to be perceived as uncomfortably loud or even painful. The character's extreme sensitivity to sound becomes a central part of the story.
While hyperacusis is relatively uncommon, it is a very real condition that can have a significant impact on daily life. Simple sounds such as clattering dishes, traffic noise, or even conversations can become overwhelming for those affected.
At All About Hearing, we regularly help people with a wide range of hearing concerns – not just hearing loss. If sounds seem excessively loud, uncomfortable or difficult to tolerate, it's worth seeking professional advice to understand what's happening and explore the support available.
Films like Tuner help shine a spotlight on hearing conditions that often go unnoticed, and that's something we welcome.
The film was released last week, but you can catch it at The Riverside Cinema in Woodbridge from 12th June.
