Misophonia

Misophonia is a sound sensitivity where certain noises trigger strong emotional reactions, such as anger or anxiety.

Common triggers include sounds like chewing, breathing, or tapping. Unlike hyperacusis, which is a general sensitivity to all sounds, misophonia typically involves particular, often repetitive sounds that provoke a strong, negative response.

Misophonia can significantly impact daily life, and treatment options, such as sound therapy and counselling, can help individuals manage their reactions.

Some individuals may also benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to reframe their responses to trigger sounds, while mindfulness techniques and relaxation exercises can provide additional coping strategies. Building a supportive environment and communicating with friends and family about misophonia can further improve overall well-being.
