Scientists investigate the phenomenon of misophonia

[@GilaMonster971]

People don’t realize that misophonia isn’t just an annoyance with sounds. It’s rage...I want to hurt people over chewing sounds.

[@monkeforsure1973]

@Truth Seeker i hit things arround me when I get triggered

[@wesley6442]

My trigger is street traffic or idling trucks.. when I hear someone start up their truck and leave it sitting there it feels me such rage and distress my mood plummets and I get such horrible depression, then a wave of relief when they drive off.. it's absolute torture how I can be fine one moment then filled with such crippling distress over such a gritting, annoying sound that so incessant and pervasive. The combustion engine is a feat of engineering but also the bane of my existence lol

[@PerpetuallyAnnoyed]

Not just rage, but intense psychological and emotional pain! Certain sounds literally throw me into panic attacks, and I feel like I wanna punch everything near me! People don't understand that people like us actually hear these annoying sounds LOUDER than anything else. We can't tune them out like normal people, and I hate it when people say I'm just being difficult when sound literally causes me pain.

[@rachaelgosser5659]

My daughter can't have dinner with the family without having ear buds in. Her triggers are clicking, chewing, slurping, smacking, also certain tones of voices. Layered voices in songs (like harmonies by Simon & Garfunkle) baritones, the group volbeat. I remember when she was 1-3 if I was singing to the radio in the car she would tell me "stop it mama stop it" I didn't understand why until years later. School was almost unbearable for her and some sounds trigger absence seizures for her (like loud trucks and motorcycles) so now she's 23 but can't drive due to these. Eating sounds cause a strong disgust, nausea, extreme anger. Other types like some music sounds and harmony can cause major irritation, some anger, and some seizure-like sensations. It can be really rough for people who suffer from misophonia.

[@whateversmurfette]

your daughter is not alone, the nausea and anger are unbearable but that is nowhere near the worst part. the guilt that comes with just having the negative thoughts is crushing in itself. sometimes i wonder if this thing hurts us more or the people around us.

I know you as the mom have also suffered immensely.

[@theferalacademic]

i know it’s been a while since you posted this, but i was that little kid, and i just want to thank you for being so understanding with your daughter today. my mom’s singing was one of my triggers too. i felt terrible for it. my mom loves to sing, and i know it must have hurt her to see me react so severely to her voice. she would just keep going anyway, saying she wasn’t going to let her own child boss her in her own home/car, which, y’know, fair enough given there was no name for it in the 90s. she had no way of knowing how much she was hurting me. i wish i’d been allowed a noise-cancelling buffer in trigger situations, or that someone would have taken the time to try to understand why these things overwhelmed me so much instead of just scolding me for it. i’m dumping all this to say you seem like such a good mom and i’m so glad parents like you are out here trying to understand this thing that’s still so nebulous and under-studied. and now i’m gonna go have a little cry in the library about it. 💜

[@CrazyNewsStory]

I love this..I suffer from this daily and I think it really boils down to us being affected and disturbed by peoples lack of social awareness and etiquette

[@dedeleblanc5912]

When I was a child, my room was in the front of the house, and I heard every single noise. It would literally put me into a rage. My parents ended up swapping mine and my brothers' room, which was at the back of the house, and put a box fan in there. Now, as an adult, certain sounds throw me into a fight or flight response, such as repetitive tapping, slurping, taking too long to close chip bags, soft, but high-pitched singing, or humming. I also have visual sensitivities, like repetitive movements, like leg bouncing, or feet moving. The list goes on and on. I finally purchased some noise cancelling earphones, and they help a lot, but it is difficult for me to watch a tv show, unless everything else around me is silent. I wish I knew what causes it, because it is not a fun thing to live with. It's almost as if my blood starts to boil when I am triggered, as I can literally feel my body start to flush, as it makes its way toward my head/face.

[@oliverw3646]

Thank you for these insights. It's not easy to live with misophonia when you work in a shared office. Crunching sounds, the sound of an apple being chomped on rather than being cut into manageable pieces, the aggressive scraping of an empty yogurt container; the sound of air bubbles going up a straw when a beverage is finished, etc, truly infuriate me to the Nth degree. I become a hateful monster with V shaped eyebrows and ears back. I find that even more infuriating than the sounds themselves is the fact that the miscreant is utterly unaware of how annoying it is.

[@TheTrickyTwix]

I actually felt crazy for so long. I understand how irrational it must sound to someone who doesn’t suffer from this. I could be in a great mood and suddenly want to punch a hole through someone’s skull if I hear them chewing. Other sounds like celebratory “woos” also piss me off. “Piss me off” is an understatement, it’s the most unbridled, visceral rage I’ve ever felt. The frustrating thing is we just have to sit with it and act normal.

[@berryreadable]

The celebratory woo is a unique trigger. My odd ones are vocal fry and Keith Morrison. OMG, I HATE the way he narrates. Lol

[@lauriefrancisco1084]

I'm almost 70. My misophonia started as a child too. When I would hear things that would annoy me, I'd complain, but the response that I usually got from either parent was, "Just tune it out." That was like telling me to stop breathing. I COULDN"T tune it out and couldn't understand why. I heard about misophonia for the first time a couple of years ago from an unrelated TV program. It was a reality-type show, and one of the people in the cast referred to it. I sat up straight and said, WHAT? I realized instantly there was a name for my problem, and I wasn't alone. However, mine extends beyond just annoying sounds. I work as a transcriptionist, typing various audio files. I don't have any problem as long as the principle voices are relatively clear. I've even had to learn to control my reaction if someone is chewing gum or making some other noise like that in the background. I guess because I can't do anything about it. BUT the real problem comes in when there are multiple noises in the background, be it unrelated voices, people milling around, then my brain has trouble isolating the voices I'm transcribing. Add an echo to the mix, and it's nearly impossible for me to do the job. I have struggled to finish jobs like that, but it takes me WAY longer than it should, exhausts me, and causes me great anxiety and agitation. It can even get to the point where my brain simply can't process it anymore. My experience in those situations leads me to believe the problem may be more complex than just being unable to tolerate chewing or other repetitive human noises.

[@Hy-Brasil]

i first heard the term on Longmire - final season ....actually might have been the last or second to last episode. i had the same reaction though. it started in childhood too but got worse as i got older - pretty sure my brother and dad both have it too. my mom is utterly oblivious to the world around her so she was probably the source of our rage without even realizing it lol (my husband and older son have her level of apathy as well. just totally blind to everyone around, about as mindful as a woodpecker on a hollowed out pine tree. and if i say anything about their noise, they act like i'm a selfish monster. and if i get up and leave, they still act like i'm a selfish monster. growing up however, i didn't dare tell anyone about anything that upset me because it was fuel. especially for my older brother or cousins. the second they found out i didnt like something it meant they should do it more. so i suffered in silence a lot. loud radios, loud engines, i especially hate motorcycles. like i get it.... loud pipes save lives... unless you drive near me. because now all i want to do is flatten you with my truck to make the noise stop. it literally feels like someone is stabbing my brain!!

headphones help me a little because when a trigger occurs its like everything else is unbearably loud. i don't want to be hurtful to everyone eating around me so i eat in a different room by myself. its depressing but having seen how this affected my dad, to the point of not always controlling his rage/violent response, i'd rather not allow it to well up that way.

It turns out I'm sound sensitive due to adhd, cerebral palsy, and migraines, Surprisingly, I became an EMT // RN years later and work in ambulances.

[@amykirchmann8374]

Thank you for researching this. My misophonia started when I was 7 or 8. I discovered it's name when I was 29. My childhood was extremely traumatic and I have a whole bunch of problems as an adult because I was not able to deal with this as a child. I long for a cure and help. It's traumatic for me that my life could have been very different. It was triggered by a sexual exploitation when I was 7 and I think that actually triggered another memory that I had gone through earlier as a child but have blocked out of my mind. Still to this day, no one in my family can talk openly about the way that I have suffered. No one understands or can identify. It's like this big secret. I never ever talk about it because it's too heavy.

How do you deal?

[@amykirchmann8374]

@@saeedahpeters2734 I don't deal with it very well. Most of my triggers come from my Mom. I live in a different country to her and a lot of it is avoidance tactics- like I will remove myself from a room. It's very hard. I'm not sure what your exact triggers are. I did see on youtube one woman in America had significant reduction in her triggers after she went for a specific type of therapy. So I do think help is coming. Unfortunately, I don't live in America - otherwise I would probably travel to that doctor. If I find something that hellps- I'll get back to you.

Can’t stand a sound is kin of an understatement. Certain noises can put you into a violent rage. At least inside that’s how you feel. Maybe a little bit of disgust. But mostly anger. The sound causes a physical sensation. And it’s hard to control your reaction. I’ve said rude things to dates. And have ate alone or suffered through if there we had a noisy eater. But yes, if someone is making a noise, it’s nearly impossible to listen to a conversation, and actually be present. It would be great to know what causes the issue of Misphonia.

[@Hy-Brasil]

i have an incredibly good and incredibly long memory and can remember the day this started with me. my mom had some dumpy fugly 1970's clunker we called Pepe Le Pew (because it was black with a white stripe). this was in the days of kids not being required to ride in car seats. i used to sit in the floorboard of the backseat rather than in the seat (because being restrained by the seatbelt would make me vomit every single time.. which is another issue probably. i am sensitive to certain pressures or surfaces. and i blame that car.) there was no carpet in the floorboard btw. and my mom never cleaned anything so it was always nasty, gritty, hot, just a bucket full of yuck. and the car's speaker was right next to my head. and while i don't remember the title of the song she was playing that day i do remember the chorus would end with a mighty clap of several hands. And it was that song on that day that I knew what actual torment was. none of my skinned knees, kitchen scratch booboos, falling off my bike or bumping my head every came close to the ear shattering racket i experienced with that song. And it just kinda got worse over the years. The funny (or maybe sad?) thing is I was often alone when i was younger. i didn't have friends to hang out with because my mom didn't like going anywhere and she didn't like sending me off with strangers and she didn't like getting to know new people. so i would stay in my room and read and listen to my little bedside radio or i went to school. that was the extent of my social life until the last year of middle school. when my mom and i would rent movies or go a theater i was hyper aware of her chewing and the sound she made through her nose while doing it and always felt bad for thinking it was disgusting. The memory of her smacking on chewing gum while driving through town still haunts me. by the time i got into high school i didn't even want to have a social life so it was a moot point. i would skip lunch and hide in the library for the entirety of high school. basically i had no idea other sounds bothered me until i finally started hanging around more people because prior to that i was going out of my way to avoid social settings. and what really baffles me is .... i have a farm. The sound of a horse crunching away on his grain or the cow eating hay, the ducks snurdling around in the mud, even my pigs and dogs eating their food... none of that bothers me. But give my husband a bag of giant pretzels and i will lose my mind. if my oldest son eats an apple i have to leave the house. Loud motorcycles make me feel an unnatural hatred towards the rider... same goes for loud cars and trucks. i don't mind a muscle car rumble that shakes the ground. that decibel is low and soothing. but the moment you make it scream.... i wanna commit violence. shrill barking dogs, or dogs that have skin issues that make them chew on themselves. rain on a tin is maddening. loud music - even music i like..... Big Nope. If it's loud enough to make someone shout over it to be heard then you can bet the farm that i experiencing pain. i could go on for a while but ya get it. i just want to live a quiet calm life with my farm......and my family.... but they are just so danged loud!!

I’ve suffered for decades with misophonia and had no idea it even had a name, I thought it was just me. Until I had my DNA done by 23&me to check for other things completely unrelated. My DNA results predicted that I would have misophonia. Since I’d never heard of it, I did my research and was blown away. Finally!! An explanation for what I had been suffering with my whole life. You say your not sure what causes it or where it comes from etc., but 23&me nailed it in my DNA. It fascinating to discover this and completely unexpected. I don’t work for 23&me or have any affiliation. If people think they have misophonia I recommend getting the DNA test done. That way if you have a skeptical physician you can show the scientific data that it’s in your genes. 😮

[@eddue12345]

Misphonia is torture!! Its torture that I endure alone because no one around me really cares or is truly empathic about what I'm feeling. I think I'm wrong because everyone has right to chew the way they want. But I also think my family is wrong because if they cared about me even a little bit they could just learn to eat with their mouth closed and that would be a very small adjustment that would 100 alleviate the TORTURE that I feel. But I've explained it to them several times very scientifically and calmly. And they don't stop. Deep down feel it's because they don't care about me enough for that. They are just not empathetic to me. And they are in their right to not be. But I'm in my right to not live TORTURED. So I'm debating cutting them out of my life forever because I don't know what else to do with this problem.

what makes you think this?

[@majorpygge-phartt2643]

Forget chewing and tapping etc. what about raucous CACKLING fits from FAT-trap loudmouths, or dogs, or banging doors or gates, or stupid skull piercing "whistling", or that stupid insane finger-click nonsense which has become such an insane obsession with the so-called "entertainment" industry, and which is constantly played over the PA system in shops and various public buildings making them inaccessible, eh?

[@lisaliu7788]

I remember how i Scratch the blackboard because that terrible sounds.

[@lisaliu7788]

It's not completely for specific sounds，it's the unbearable noise had me dropped off of school because i rest in class after recess，till these days i avoid eating or business mall for feeling sick and puking

[@lisaliu7788]

It effected my social life alot, essentially not possible to avoid noises in modern society.

[@lisaliu7788]

These things has put me in situation that i had autistic people as friends or thinks ted Kaczynski was right.

[@lisaliu7788]

Because Chinese people are very noisy in restaurants, holidays I've been hating marriage and death ever since I was kid.

---- IF YOU HAVE ROOT CANALS THIS MIGHT BE WHY YOU HAVE MISOPHONIA ---- Just wanted to come back and say mine is gone because I had a failed root canal for 7 years on a back molar (#15 tooth). Since it was capped with a crown that trapped infection which spread to my ear and thus brain. I almost didn't make it. After trying millions of things the decay hiding under my nice looking crown cracked the tooth and I was in severe pain for a month, disabled. ----- IF YOU HAVE ROOT CANALS THIS MIGHT BE WHY YOU HAVE MISOPHONIA

[@elizabethharrison2947]

sounds like a lotta people will be getting away with murder in the courts because of this uhhh diagnosis - also sounds like some people should be lucky if they can find some sane old person, such as an old Amish father comes to mind so that he will be glad to paddle some arses and get these brats working outdoors, growing food for the family and other such CHORES. huh? 🤣🤢 Lord have mercy the world is going mad by every passing day now. God bless.

[@rossydv]

This sounds like a reaction to inconsideration, not sounds!!

[@paft]

Nope. My dog smacks his mouth a lot at random, it infuriates me. Mouth sounds are a big one for me. Even when people have proper manners, eating with a closed mouth still triggers me.

[@majorpygge-phartt2643]

Hold on a minute, if that lady presenter is supposedly misophonic then how on EARTH can she work?! What if you can't even visit a supermarket because of the excruciating noise in such places?! I'm sick and tired of hearing people online who claim to suffer with misophonia and then they mention their nice fancy professional job, and their partner, and social life, and entertainment, and their holidays etc. Well what about those like ME who have NONE of that but just an absolutely WRETCHED solitary existence and confined to disability welfare and spend their whole life almost entirely alone and relentlessly tortured out of your skull! And stupid earphones and plugs etc. are absolutely USELESS, they DON'T WORK!

[@bollymann1982]

There is different grades of misophonia, someone struggles A LOT and i am very sorry for them. And som people may only be triggered by a few sounds. :)

[@chloeeechloeee9235]

I’m so sorry it impacts you to this extent. I am heavily impacted, but to what you are talking about. People have varying levels of Misophonia. I keep headphones with me constantly to avoid triggers. I try to talk about the triggers with the people close to me, but they get offended and upset, or make me feel bad. I’m sorry you live this isolated life style. Have you tried talking to a specialist?

[@majorpygge-phartt2643]

@@chloeeechloeee9235 Of course I have but there's nothing they can do, all they can offer is their lousy stupid drugs which only make things far worse and have absolutely BRUTAL side effects which only cause even MORE brutal torturing hell, so they're a waste of time. And remember misophonia IS a disability and if your country has anti-exclusion laws like we supposedly have here in the UK then you should have a right to some degree of protection but if it's anything like here in the UK then you'll only find even MORE appalling EXclusion which is all I ever find and no-one will admit it or accept it and instead just start getting all arrogant and dictatorial and trying to tell me that there is "no exclusion, or discrimination" etc. and just totally abuse their authority, they're right little hitlers who think they're some kind of real big shot but in reality they're nothing but closed-minded ignorant s-ds no better than anti-social teenage yobs.

[@ChantelStays]

Mmm that's pretty judgemental, even though it's coming from a space of pain...and loss...and you're definitely at your wits end As with any "disorder" or variant ....there comes a massive spectrum and everyone falls on it differently Plus the human experience is one that is simply personal, what is painful for one person may feel different for another. I personally struggled *a lot* but with dedication , I've found many ways to manage and create a happy world for myself. Does it mean every day is great?- no... Does it mean I don't go into excruciating migraines because of my over sensitive nervous system? - no... But you have to make the best of what you're given. I have 2 amazing daughter's that understand I need quiet and I am blessed that they are pretty chill, introverted artistic kids. They know I can't eat at the dinner table like a "traditional" mom And etc. I also am a massage therapist/Reiki practitioner and esthetician. My space is a heavenly zen'd out place, where I can promote relaxation for my clients (and myself) Its a fantastic career with minimal disturbances. ...mind you I sometimes hold my breath to not hear myself breathe 🤣 and breathing definitely helps through my triggers...I guess it's a good thing the sound of oil on skin doesn't bother me haha. Anyways, best of luck in your future. Don't give up. And don't be so viciously mad at the world. You'll find a way through this.

[@majorpygge-phartt2643]

@@ChantelStays Judgemental? I think not, but only simple statement of simple fact. Some sufferers of this absolutely APPALLING wretched disorder CANNOT have ANY remotely "normal" life at all, it can mean absolutely NO work, not even lousy shelf stacking or emptying bins etc. NO "social" life, NO courting, NO marriage or relationships etc. NO kids, NO "holidays" or travel etc., NO group activities, NO hobbies, NO "entertainment" etc. and NO "happiness" at all! the list goes on so it's just like PRISON, and it can mean all manner of appalling EXclusion and the sooner more governments and other authorities, both public and private start recognising that the better, and NOW, NOT next century! Misophonia IS a disability and MUST be taken FAR more seriously and NOT so outrageously "played down" and trivialised by all those who are so normal and have absolutely no concept whatsoever of how absolutely DREADFUL it is. But instead all they ever do is just keep on piling more and MORE totally unacceptable barriers in the way!

[@majorpygge-phartt2643]

Hasn't that lady presenter got a lovely fuller figure?!
