Swedish term or phrase: Burkkänslan
Burkkänslan and the hypersensitivity to sound is absolutely the worst about this disease.

Are they referring to an echo? A "tin can effect"?

tinnitus sensation
Explanation:
Tinnitus seems to convey the 'tin-can' effect.

Otherwise, courtesy of my Turkish acquaintances, the joke comes to mind from my time in Stockholm and that may still be doing the rounds: 'Turk på burk smakar urk, men kebab på burk smakar inte skurk.'
