For people with hearing loss, the sound signals from the inner ear to the brain will be weaker than normal, and it's possible that the brain amplifies these signals too much to compensate, resulting in hypersensitivity. However, this doesn't explain the cause in those with hyperacusis and no hearing loss.
Bicycle Valve Stem Types. There are three types of bicycle valve stems in use: Schrader, Presta and Woods/Dunlop. The Woods or Dunlop valve stem style is much more rare than the other two. Any wheel rim that fits a Schrader valve can also fit a Woods or Presta valve.
The outer valve stem is manufactured in various lengths for different applications, and has a narrower diameter (6 mm) than Dunlop and Schrader valves (8 mm). The weakest point of a bicycle rim is usually the hole for the valve stem. The smaller hole for a Presta valve makes it possible to have extremely narrow wheels while maintaining sufficient strength in the wheel. The air pressure in an inflated tire holds the inner valve body shut.
