hyperacusis 

an ear condition,in which one has a collapsed tolerance to normal environmental sounds,which normally would not bother a person with normal hearing's ears.certain sounds will cause your ear drums to cringe,and have a spasm which is described as "fluttering" in the ear drum.it can be more severe in some cases than others from what i understand.it is caused by a number of things,such as prolonged exposure to loud noise,prolonged use of certain drugs,such as aspirin,head trauma,and many others.all though there isn't exactly a total cure for it,the ear's tolerance level can be brought up greatly by using pink noise cd's.by doing so it can get alot stronger,and it will be able to tolerate more noise,but it will not make the ear 100% better.
i am 18 years old and already have hyperacusis,mainly cause i did the stupid thing by listening to music on headphones daily,for 8 years,played in a band that practiced significantly loud,and used aspirin for a long period of time,due to the fact that i thought i had a non-existant heart problem.DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES AS ME.

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."

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
