Misophonia: sounds that make you “crazy”

When you’re in a crowded, loud, and public place, do you feel like everybody is breathing in sync with you? Do your ears itch when someone eats crunchy foods? Does the sound of lip-smacking drive you up the wall?
If yes, then you may have misophonia.

What is Misophonia?

If you are easily bothered by the sound bites of everyday life, don’t worry. You’re not crazy, it’s called misophonia… and there’s a name for it!
You hear sounds in your head that bother you or hurt. It can be a tone of voice, an echo, or a buzzing sound.
When this happens, the person with misophonia feels emotions ranging from anger to sadness, frustration, sadness mixed with anxiety and confusion. It can be debilitating and difficult for them to function normally day-to-day.

Misophonia is a real and very painful condition. It’s characterized by a constant, overwhelming sense of itching and annoyance with sounds that typically range from very low to plane-related sounds. 

This can range from mild annoyance to extreme discomfort which can last hours (or even days) on end. It can sometimes be debilitating and noticeable even to those who are not suffering from Misophonia personally.
Itching for certain sounds, like church bells or traffic noise doesn’t always mean you’re getting misophonia for sure. It could just be an everyday noise that you have gotten used to over time which now becomes an annoying sound whenever you experience anxiety or stress. 

People who have misophonia tend to feel embarrassed, but should not be ashamed. They should remind their healthcare providers and family members that they suffer from misophonia, and are not a bunch of babies.
Although it often goes unrecognized, misophonia can be a serious condition that can seriously limit your quality of life. A majority of people with it likely suffer from it before the age of 12.

Facts about misophonia?

Nearly two million Americans (1 in 25) have misophonia—a disorder in which certain everyday sounds trigger feelings of anger, disgust, fear, and even panic. These sounds are often ordinary—like the noise made by a person eating, breathing, or simply opening or closing their mouth.

While it has been identified as a disorder, researchers have only recently started to identify the root causes of misophonia. Research conducted in Britain compared 20 people with and without misophonia.
The researchers found that the universally disturbing sounds were rated as being significantly more unpleasant than the common trigger sounds. It is possible that these sounds are more psychologically threatening because they appear to carry a greater threat of damage.

These results show that people who have suffered from misophonia (obsessive hearing) experience the sounds as more distressing than those who do not have this disorder. Those with misophonia rated eating and breathing as more distressing after exposure to the trigger sounds for short periods of time.
For a start, the misophonic persons appear to be more sensitive to specific trigger sounds. Every now and then, when they hear or read a particular word, they react more strongly than the rest of the population. These results confirm that misophonic individuals have a greater reaction to certain trigger sounds than others do.
