Hi Amy...

I don't have a lot of experiance with this phobia... I have others... but I hear exposure therapy (being slowly exposed to the noise over time) helps.... Personally there are some people who are just sensitive to loud noises... (its not like they are afraid but that it really bothers (hurts) them)...

I have 2 boys who at stages growing up would complain about things being too loud... I would let them wear eye plugs to block some of the noise and to soften it... that helped my boys be able to go to movies and concerts, fireworks, etc.
