Let’s discuss the  knowledge, you will not anywhere on social media:

Have you noticed you're much more "sound sensitive" or
"sound Irritated" as you get older?
I have. Turns out, It's a thing.

There are two types:

1️⃣Misophonia:
An intense dislike or hatred of specific sounds, which can trigger strong negative emotions, physiological responses, and behaviors.

Misophonia Examples:
Chewing, breathing, sniffing, tapping, crunching, slurping, smacking, tv or music volume, street noise, vacuum cleaner, snoring, clipping or filing fingernails, dogs barking, crinkling paper, leaf blower, slamming doors, etc.

2️⃣ Hyperacusis:

Everyday sounds are perceived as excessively loud and uncomfortable or painful to your ears. It can cause distress and avoidance of noisy environments because
everything Is too loud.

How are they different?

Hyperacusis Is specifically about It being too LOUD and thus painful for your ears.

Misphonia triggers cover a wide variety of sounds, usually those made by people. While loudness may play a role, It's secondary.

Here's an example:

Hyperacusis : The television Is too loud to you and actually painful at that volume but not to your family.

Misphonia: The tv volume may not bother you, but your husband/wife  slurping his soup while watching tv Is annoying and causing you to feel angry.

Can this relate to hormones?

Yes.
While there are other reasons to explore, changing estrogens AND progesterone play a role In hearing health and sensory processing.
Even the health of your nervous system plays a role In your perception of these triggers.

Any ENT specialist here can add some points into this.
