Hyperacusis
A rare, debilitating hearing disorder that is characterized by an extreme sensitivity to sound. Normal sounds are perceived as too loud, while very loud sounds (such as a crowd cheering at a concert, or a very loud talker), are extremely painful and sometimes distorted.
People with hyperacusis also tend to have tinnitus as well, which worsens with loud sounds. Talk about a Double Whammy!
Hyperacusis often comes on suddenly, and it is not curable. However, it can be reduced to the point that it's barely noticeable.

"My mate has hyperacusis, and his mom talks so loud that I can hear her loud and clear all the way across the house. I can only wince at how painful it must be for him."

To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say
No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
The stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip

Alzheimer's Clarity Moment
When a person with middle/end-stage Alzheimer's has a brief moment where they snap out of their memory loss. It only lasts a few seconds at most, and is very bittersweet for everyone involved.
Pamela and her friend, Maureen went to the nursing home to visit Pamela's 83-year-old mother, Edna, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease four years prior.
When the two gals got to Pamela's mother, they found her in a wheelchair staring aimlessly at the wall. But when Maureen tried to introduce herself, Pamela's mother had an Alzheimer's Clarity Moment.
"Hello, Maureen" she said, in a soft, barely-audible voice.
Ecstatic, Pamela quickly asked her, "Mom, do you recognize me?"
"Yes," Pamela's mom said after a brief pause. "Yes, I do recognize you...Pam...ela..." And then she reverted to staring at the wall, her sudden moment of clarity forever lost.
Pamela began sobbing, while Maureen did her best to console her friend. That was the last time they saw her mother before she succumbed to the disease.

John Bain Syndrome
John Bain Syndrome got its name from John Peter Bain A.K.A "The Cynical Brit." In the early 2010s, he came under fire for telling someone to "go get cancer and die."
Needless to say, the Internet was NOT very sympathetic when he revealed that he had cancer himself, citing this infamous moment many times. They practically rejoiced when he revealed that it was terminal.
