Changes

This original album version uses slightly distorted guitars and disrupted noise loops, adding a ragged aesthetic. The song suddenly climaxes towards the end, while the final lyrics are whispered over the noise. A drone follows, and ends the song and the record. The This version was also featured as the final track on its promo contains six different mixes of versions of "Hurt:" an uncensored and censored mix of the Quiet version, live ''Closure'' version, and album which also includes a clean version. Save the uncensored album version, all five others have different mixes of the drone endingsame mix.

The only real difference between this remix and the original is that the guitar sound is much cleaner and the climax towards the end is less drastic. There is also much less static filling the song's atmosphere. This version appears only on the US version of ''Further Down the Spiral'' and was later included on ''The Downward Spiral'' 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition. Two additional versions of it were included on the "Hurt" promo: "(Quiet Version) Clean" is censored and fades out the noise loop ending, while "(Quiet Version) Soiled" is uncensored and uses a shorter rearrangement of the noise loops, which end suddenly.

This live version is found on the UK edition of ''Further Down The Spiral'' and in video form on ''Closure'' and ''The Downward Spiral'' 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition. In this version, the guitar is replaced with a piano. Reznor moans melodically and quietly after the noisy ending fades away, and the faint sounds of "[[The Downward Spiral (song)|The Downward Spiral]]'s" introduction can be heard fading out. On the "Hurt" promo, two versions of this recording are included, one censored and one uncensored, both of which fade in the beginning and out the ending.
