odynacusis
Although "algiacusia" and "hiperacusia" are treated in some places as synonyms, and they are obviously closely related, they are not strictly the same thing. Algiacusia is painful perception of sound and hiperacusia is heightened sensitivity fo sound.
"Algiacusia
Dolor producido por los ruidos"
http://www.diccionariomedico.org/Algiacusia_65.htm
"Algiacusia
Dolor producido por ruido intenso (110-120 dB), en especial por sonidos agudos. En hipoacusias neurosensoriales con reclutamiento disminuye la sensibilidad al sonido bajando el umbral de molestia o de dolor."
http://www.otorrinoweb.com/glosario/ae-al/499-algiacusia.htm...
The English term for hiperacusia is, of course, hyperacusis:
hyperacusis:
"An exceptionally acute sense of hearing, the threshold being very low." (Dorland's Medical Dictionary for Health Consumers)
"Abnormally acute hearing due to heightened irritability of the sensory neural mechanism." (The American Heritage® Medical Dictionary)
"abnormal acuteness of the sense of hearing." (Miller-Keane Encyclopedia and Dictionary of Medicine, Nursing, and Allied Health)
http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/hyperacusis
Algiacusia, on the other hand, corresponds to the condition known in English as odynacusis:
odynacusis:
" Hypersensitivity of the organ of hearing, so that noises cause actual pain." (The American Heritage® Medical Dictionary)
"a painful sensitivity to noise." (Mosby's Medical Dictionary)
"painful hearing." (Miller-Keane Encyclopedia and Dictionary of Medicine, Nursing, and Allied Health)
http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/odynacusis
"Algiacusia

Hyperacusis is a symptom that can be a minor nuisance to some but a life altering experience to others. As will be seen in this leaflet, there are problems with definitions, but the term is generally applied to people who experience the sounds of everyday life as intrusively loud, uncomfortable, and sometimes painful. Sometimes this symptom is triggered by specific medical conditions, so we recommend that anyone with hyperacusis should seek a specialist medical opinion. In other people, a negative life event appears to be associated with the onset. However, in many people no clear reason can be identified. Some people with hyperacusis withdraw from social and professional activities and become isolated: this can further exacerbate the problem as they become fearful and anxious. Therapy for hyperacusis involves the exclusion of treatable medical conditions, counselling, and often the use of sound therapy.
Sound tolerance
The human auditory system has an extraordinary range: we are able to hear tiny sounds such as the gentle rustling of leaves, and yet, we are still able to tolerate extremely loud sounds such as music in a disco. There is a level of sound that will generate physical pain in anyone. This occurs at a level of approximately 120 dB. However, we generally reach a point where we feel that sound is too loud long before we reach the threshold of pain

indeed. But somebody has to research terminology, few on Proz do.

Otto Albers (X)
: "algia" is related to pain; "hyper" relates with increased perception

Cynthia Coan
: In the hearing disorders arena, pain and hypersensitivity don't have to be mutually incluse; in fact they can go hand in hand. Whoever doubts this should go to http://spanish.hear-it.org/glossary.dsp?Le.
