Wow! You just explained how I've felt my whole life! I too just found out about this a couple of months ago via the Today Show and am so relieved that yeah, we aren't crazy! There is a name for this! Everything you said, from each noise or movement that really gets to you, to how you react with your family vs. strangers just completely relates to my life growing up. Thank you so much for posting. Like you said, it's so good to know that we're not alone! :)
YES im so glad you posted this!! i know im just about 3 and a half years late but seriously..I have heard of misophonia before but i disregarded it because everyones comments were mainly about people chewing their food so I thought it was just a common annoyance and people didnt have the other triggers. My mother taps on her steering wheel as well and I cant hear it but seeing it will make me so enraged, also people breathing loudly, and people in other rooms of my house talking when my door is shut and im in my room. They can be talking so quietly yet I still feel like im going to burst into tears with frustration. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for making this video, it's so relieving to know there are other people out there like myself. I just found out about this disorder earlier this week, it really helps knowing that I'm not alone. I would love an update video to see how you're doing.
Hi! I too have Misophonia! I have all the same triggers as you do! It's very much a relief to know that there are others out there that suffer from the same thing.
i love that you made this video.i have lived with this all my life. i am am 41 years old and had never heard the term misophonia until about a year ago.it is impossible to make someone understand how this makes you feel.it gives me terrible panic attacks.i never go to movies b/c there will always be someone crinkling a candy wrapper or chewing loud.both of my best friends would crunch there ice all the time and didn't understand until recently what it did to me.it is so hard to deal with.
My triggers are, Splashing or trickling water, metallic sounds, mouth sounds,computer keyboard and mouse clicks, and even hearing often repeated words i.e. "basicially".I must wear earplugs quite often.
Hey Sierra, I have the exact same problem! You aren't alone! I first started getting really annoyed with my dad and chewing gum and coughing ect...It got really bad and sad because my family didn't think I liked them but they/myself didn't know what was up with myself. I'm now 20 and only about half a year ago my mom researched everything and told me what it was.. but I'm going crazy! Earplugs at night are my best friend, and headphones in the car are another good friend of mine : ) Good luck!
I just recently found out what this stupid condition is, that's been driving me nuts, (also my family and friends who get so annoyed with my "fussiness"), and I'm grateful beyond words to be able to tell them there's a REASON I get so flippin' mad at their noises!! So I've been scoping UA-cam finding these videos and finding others who suffer just like me, and it's amazing! But you, girl, you have said "like" approximately 4,000 times!! I can't watch your video past the 5:00 mark!
I'm sorry you are suffering from this. I understand because I have it too. Ever since I was a little girl. It's so nice to know I'm not alone and not crazy. At this point I'm searching for treatment, but until that point support def helps. Just know you're not alone.
I found out a couple months ago on 20/20 and I knew instantly! I FEEL for you and everyone else here. It's horrible. My mom thought I was just a mean B***H but it turns out she is my main trigger. In high school and college I'd have anxiety because 1) I could hear people chewing or 2) I could see their mouth/jaw moving out of the corner of my eye. I didn't know that was a trigger, but it IS for me and to hear you have visual triggers too is a relief to me.
I identified with you 100%! Thank you for posting this! Here's another thing that used to drive me crazy: my mom had TMJ for a while and every time her jaw moved up and down when she ate, it popped/cracked. UGHHHH!!! I just wanted to take her food away and say THAT'S IT! STOP IT! NO MORE FOOD FOR YOU!
I'm so glad to see other people out there like me, and who are figuring out that they have misophonia! I have been struggling with this most of my life, and only a few months ago was I so frustrated with it, that I searched it up, and I'm so unbelievable happy that there are people out there with the same problem. My whole life my family has been telling me to just get over it, but it's so hard. And they are mainly the only ones that I lash out on about it, or that I can talk to about it with. M
Yes, I think that is part of the reason why I have it too. My mother was always abusive. One of my triggers is a visual trigger - I hate it when people are throwing or waving their arms up in the air. I instantly feel like I have to defend myself, usually I just look away.
I just found out today that this is what I have! At dinner I would have to get up and leave or turn on the TV and my parents always thought it was just a tolerance thing and im so happy to finally put a name to it and know there are others that have this problem!
The feeling of finding out that there are other people who understands how it feels is priceless! For me, having a pair of headphones with noise reduction in my purse is gold! Even if the battery on my phone is dead I pop them in and relax!
I feel loads better!!!! I am a 14 year old girl with misophonia and its very hard because my parents get horribly mad when I act out or get hyper sensitive and all they tell me is "this is your problem, not mine!! I will chew as loud as I want in my own house!!!" and the only resort I have is earplugs and music. Can somebody please contact me and let me know I am not so alone?? I don't know anybody with this besides my self and I would just lime to speak to someone who also suffers. -Sierra
Smacking & gum chewing are two of my biggest triggers along with loud music or any repetitive sound. I was very glad when I found out this was a real issue & not just me being crazy.
Yes! Same here. Been like this for over 30 years, now my daughter has it. Eating, gum chewing and typing are the worst. So hard for others to understand. So bothersome. I'm sorry you deal with this, too.
Hey! My name is also Aaron and all I can say is I'm glad I'm not alone, its terrible because no one understands and you can't just tell people to stop coughing or to stop smackin their lips or whatever it may be.
I figured out I had this a couple months ago and once I did I felt so relived, that I'm not alone, there's other people out there like me! The big triggers for me are sniffing, Slurping, and clearing your throat. My dad does all of these things every morning, every night. I go insane inside. I tell him to shut up and stop it and he just didn't understand. My family doesn't understand. Sometimes they make the sounds in purpose! I just wish they could understand what we go through! I told him abut this and he seems interested. I really hope that this torture will stop. In school i take a rest and literally every five second someone sniffs. I glare at them, try to make them get the hint! Umm what are tissues for? It causes so much stress, more than I already have feel Just school in general.
I have this too. My mom frustrates me the most. I can't stand breathing sounds, yawning, chewing, lip smaking, slurping, bubble gum popping, typing, nail clipping sounds, and cutlery sounds. When my family eats dinner I have to have ear plugs in and turn the volume of the T.V. up really loud. I also can't stand looking at people when they eat. I hate the way their jaws move. Even if they don't make a sound, I just hate the fact that they have something in their mouth. :(
I just found out that there is such a real disorder like this. I thought I was just way too sensitive all my life. I cant stand sniffling, smacking, slurping, nail picking and stuff. I literally cant be around it or I end up acting like something is about to kill me. I know how you feel that you just found out that you have this disorder too now. Glad to know its not just in my head.
Finally, someone like me! I'm 18 and I think this started when I was about 10. But I know what you mean when you say it has cost a lot of relationships. I have gotten into so many arguments (and actual fights with my sister's) with my family because of this. The one visual aspect that drives me insane is chewing with the mouth open. It's like I anticipate the sound. But thank you for sharing your story! I don't feel crazy anymore
Wow I relate to almost everything you said in your video! I'm 15 and I've only had misophonia for about 2 years. I have a lot of the same triggers, except the dogs barking. The worst for me is chewing (gum especially) and scraping metal dishes/silverware. I also have visual triggers that are sometimes worse than the sounds themselves. I try to block those with my hand like you do but it doesn't work most of the time. My school days are extremely painful because so many people chew gum and that sound along with the sight of people chewing drives me the craziest. I have a hard time telling my friends or strangers to stop eating or tapping their fingers or whatever, because I don't know how to explain it and I do get worried they might think bad of me. I've read a bunch of articles and all these comments and there are so many adults that have had this for their entire lives. I can't imagine this kind of pain for that long, especially having to deal with it at work or with a husband or wife. I do always feel bad for getting angry at people that trigger my annoyance, but that doesn't get rid of out the urge to scream and cry and strangle them.
My trigger sounds are mostly chewing, smacking, breathing, snoring, or any sound that they make with their mouth. Also some movements or just little things that people do. I'm so glad to have found others like me, and thanks everyone who shared in the comments!
Thank you so much for sharing the story. I don't know what I will be doing because we moved to the new house and I can hear highway, children playing behind the house, football trainings, my husband typing, chewing or other people repetitively moving in my view. My husband love this house and I think that it is beautiful house too, but everything bothers me ... When something triggers me I go nuts - upset, aggressive, than helpless, crying. I am really tired of myself and I decided to change that. I cannot afford the doctor, so I am listening all kinds of the colored noises ... Hopefully, one day I stop to be so sensitive for all kinds of triggers ... I wish luck to everyone else with misophonia in fighting it ;)
I absolutely can't stand it when people cough. Its far past the point of being annoying. Right now it's at the point where every time someone coughs and I hear it, I get immediately upset and angry within seconds and theirs nothing I can so about it.
OMG my roommate coughs constantly and it drives me insane! I've counted 12 in one minute - are you kidding me! Fix it or just shut the F up! It is so disgusting I want to knock him out with a 2x4. Asking him to stop does no good - I think he finds great pleasure in annoying me as he has no life and has nothing else to do. I cannot afford to more or I would. I hope I don't end up in jail for decking him. I get woke up EVERY morning to the sound of his incessant coughing. How do you cope???
It's difficult, but what I do now is I wear headphones almost constantly, I live with my family right now Becuase I just graduated highschool but for now I wear headphones constantly when I'm around people, it's weird I know but I'll do anything to not hear that sound again. Also it's weird because I find that the greater the relationship I have with the person making the noise, the more it personally affects me.
Aaron King I've noticed that too - the more of a relationship that I have with them (wanted or not) the worse my reaction is. That is probably why people want to call this a psychological problem I just need to get over!
I'm 13 and i found out last year and ive seen 4 doctors 1 hearing doctor and 3 Psychologist. It has not helped at all besides the first doctor told me, Just tell yourself It is not hurting you, it helps until you can get out of that. Oh my God as i was typing you said that people will do things and i have to look away thanks for all the Great Mesophonia UA-cam's.
brushing teeth gives me goosebumps, ever since I can remember. Anyone chewing, gum is really bad so we all sit alone to eat. Its that bad. flipping pages of a book, playing with a keypad or a phone, typing, drives me mad. Sticky tape (and my husband does packages a lot, so that drives me up the wall) - slurping tea, drinking from a bottle. rustling paper or plastic wrappers, the list goes on. I thought I was alone and I'm so glad I'm not.
Furthermore, misophonia and depression have striking similarities. In both cases, the victim (again, speaking from personal experience) doesn't feel as though their deep emotional pain is valid or that it matters. Both diseases also carry an immense amount of guilt. We "shouldn't" be depressed and we "shouldn't" become enraged over breathing, but we need to accept the reality that we are. If anyone has any other questions or just wants to talk, let me know. I'd be more than happy to help.
The correlation between visual and hearing is senses. You have a sensory proscessing disorder, as I do. It's annoying and sucks so bad. Had a rough day today, and seeing you finding this out as well helped me. Thank you for posting.
I grow really resentful with my family because I don't lash out at them - even though I really badly want to. I'm just so aware of how alien and irrational my feelings are. The worst for me is CRUNCHING. God. I just need to get as far away from it as possible. Summer is the worst for me when we eat salad every single day - I'm always the first to leave the table but most of the time I'll just avoid eating with my family. I hate it and it really does cause me such anxiety.
It's so relieving to know other people have Misophonia as well and struggle with how they hear their triggers. I also have certain visual triggers, but it's mainly sounds that get to me. Chewing gum and ice are two of my biggest triggers, basically anything crunchy. If anyone wants to talk about it further, feel free to send me a message.
I'm from the UK and i suffer from misophonia, I'm only 14 but I know i have it because I have read about it online a lot and it's describes perfectly what I go though, I can only remember having this problem since i was 12 or 13. My common triggers, are any sort of eating, somebody being loud eg, talking or screaming in another room, dishes clashing, leg shaking or foot tapping. When i see or hear these triggers, i can no longer focus and i feel really angry i just want to rip out my hair and push the person whose causing the noise in their face. I mostly only end up telling the person to stop it or shut up, and if they don't i leave the room and say i'm already in my room and hearing some making noise or talking in another i have to put headphones in or put my fan on or say i'm in the living room i turn on the tv and put volume up alot to try and block out the noise. None of my family understand how it feels, they always just say i'm easily annoying and they tell me to stop moaning about it. Which makes me upset that don't want to help me with my misophonia and that they don't care. I just want to let anyone know i know how it feels to have misophonia, and that your not alone:)
I literally thought I was crazy or just really cranky for years until I finally found out about this it explains a lot. Nobody understands how bad these sounds make me feel. I try really hard to have patience with my younger kids but inside I'm freaking out and it makes me so mad. I'm actually realizing that a lot of my problems in general are neurological. I get very bad headaches that last days at a time even up to a week and I have to carry injections around with me to stop them if I can't handle it any more. Even the sound of my cat cleaning herself bothers me. I have a list of issues that are all linked to neurology.
typing on the keyboard, and texting, and clicking from the xbox remote bothers me, but when i do them things it doesn't bother me, it's ruining my life ..
My absolute worst trigger is throat clearing, and I have an office full of throat clearers. 14 of 23 people within earshot do it, and it averages about 1000 times per day. I have had to beg and plead for an alternative work schedule so that I can get away from the noise. I also have these headphones that block out nearly all the noise, but they get extremely hot. Sometimes it gets so damn bad, I want to make myself deaf. I even wish sometimes that I were dead to just get away from the noise.
Read the book "Sound-Rage. A Primer of the Neurobiology and Psychology of a Little Known Anger Disorder (amazon.com, 210pgs) Misophonia is a developmental, neurological disorder. It affects the neural processing of triggers (auditory, like chewing) in the insular cortex. Pain and danger neural pathways are stimulated in the miso brain.
i cryed in an exam. heres why: flicking through pages, clicking pen, people walking around, clock, people clicking pens, sniffing, typing on a calculator, a pencil on paper noise, coughing, clikcing, people baning there leg, there sleeve brushing against the paper. and the chewing in chewing gum kills me. aaargh
OMG !!! I'm not alone. Heard about misophonia and was terrified about people who have the same things that drive them crazy. Chewing, chomping, the throat sound from guzzling water, clipping finger nails. Especially when someone is whistling around me. I want to jump off a tall building...lol. When someone squeezes their plastic water bottle after they slurp their water. Dragging their feet when they walk. Try to coexist in a world where every noise around you can send you over a cliff.
Bose needs to come up with selective noise canceling ear implants for this. My wife has the "motion" part too. She can't stand people making repetitive motions with their fingers.
I want to learn more on how I can help the girl I'm crazy about manage her Misophonia. I want her to not feel alone in dealing with it. It can be hard to understand for an outsider but I am determined to help her in this battle :)
It's just so hard for other people to know how I feel when they crunch their chips with their mouth open or smack their lips. I try to explain to my family that I have this problem and they don't me seriously, while continuing to chew like horses. I literally have to go in the other room or put headphones in while I'm around my dad or sister because I just can't keep my cool. I wish more than anything that my family would quit at least what they could prevent. But even when my dad eats, the food swishes around in his throat and it's just as bad. It's so bad to the point that I get headaches and I could just kill someone at those moments. I want to be able to enjoy time with my family, but as soon as we eat, I hear that chomping and it ruins the whole day for me.
I really hope I can find a way how to cope with this... I'm literally starting to go a bit crazy haha. I get A LOT of anxiety when I'm with my family in a room just because I KNOW the sounds are coming. I had a tenant living below me for half a year and he had a weird breathing habit and he would "SIGHHHH" a lot.. and I could hear it all, so one day I went haywire and smashed a table lap over my knee LOL. It's weird because ppl know me as the kindest person, but this is how much unbearable it is
I really do not know what to think. I feel like I have misophonia, but I did not notice anything until my 8th grade year which was 5 years ago. The sound of chewing (anything) drives me crazy, licking lips, swallowing, drinking, water drops. Even looking at someone lick their lips or chew bothers me without even hearing them. smacking lips (without eating. Even the sound of me chewing makes me uneasy. I usually internalize everything so instead of yelling or raising my voice, I grunt, and I also have a panick attack which causes me to cry. I throw temper tantrums and punch things. Does anyone else act that way or am I just a baby? I just feel so worthless when I react badly to things, especially when I love that person and they do not deserve it.
+jazzy jamie I actually started taking Vyvanse (adhd medicine) 2 days ago and it seems to help a little. I think it will decrease my sensitivity to sound each day, until it is gone. It gets exponentially better each day. 😆
I tooottt understan u! Thanks for Sharin! :) ..in my case, 4 example, i can nooot eat w my dad, period! Im a peace n love person in aaall areas of ,y life at all times n i dont even raise my voice in a diacussion, there always much better n civilized ways of facin anythin n anyone in life.. BUT when it comes to those specific sounds tht each of us (ppl w misophonia) have..there is not even a second between d level 1 n d level 1000000 of absolute GGRRRROOWWRRRR! feelin! n yeah i tot agree w u,th
in science class the other day I resorted to peeling the yellow paint off of my pencil with my fingernails because the sound of people chewing gum & eating chips behind me was driving me up the wall. I still have the pencil, it's broken in half....
I just found the term " misophoneia" and it is 100% me too. Along with the chewing or crunching I also have a reaction of rage to seeing someone lick their finger before counting money or turning a page of a book. I work in an office and the sound of people typing is going to get me fired soon when i flip the $&&(# out! I am glad to have found that there is a diagnosis and im not crazy. Im wondering if it should have a dufferent name because the "phono" part means sound and its not just sound. I think i may try hypnosis because i need to stop getting this pissed off .... Soon. Well thanks gor sharing , it def. helped :)
Wow, I thought I was the only one who is driven absolutely INSANE by my mom moving her fingers around on the steering wheel. So wonderful to know that I'm *not* crazy after all!!!
Hahah I can't stand alot of noises, but more so when I am in deep concentration. Heavy breathing, crunching, chomping, gum, snoring etc. but some people irritate me more then others. Hard to define why exacty
I have been suffering with this for about 20 years, both sound and visual. Discovered today that its an actual disorder! All these years I thought I was crazy! I think its caused by bad mannered people who have no consideration for others. Nearly killed this guy at work because he kept picking up his keys and slamming it on the desk for about 20 mins! Cant stand food eaters they are the worst. This stuff causes me to hate people. Hate ambulance sirens and public announcements on the speakers!
Marko Stjepanovic yeah bro is bullshit if somebody performs oral sex on her and she enjoys that sound then what the hell is she talking about. The problem is that she's in denial the fact that when she hears those sounds she's trying to run away from something that naturally sexually turns her on
I SWEAR I HAVE THIS ON EVERYTHING THAT I LOVE I HAVE TRUE ISSUES WITH PEOPLE YAWNING I HAVE TO LITERALLY COVER MY EARS I FEEL LIKE IM ABOUT TO EXPLODE THE WAY PEOPLE CHEW AND DRINK CERTAIN WAYS I CAN'T CONTROL HOW I FEEL I CAN'T BELIEVE IVE FOUND OUT WHAT THIS IS!
I have misophonia as well. Ijust figured out the term a while ago. I hate it. I totally know how u feel. If u figure out any more post something about it
some visual triggers i have are: - when people move their tongue around in their mouth to get food out of their teeth after eating - picking at nails - rubbing your hands together - running your thumb back and forth across your index finger (something my mom does)
To you, and anyone else reading this, I recommend Noah Hammond's three part mini-series on mastering your emotions (I think thiscould be related to misophonia). Though the videos aren't directly misophonia related, and actually don'teven mention it, it seems to be helping me with my own misophonia so far. Check out his other videos too. Anyway, best of luck!
I bet you this is caused from our diets. I have been suffering with this for a long time. But there are time when it is worse than others. High heels and crumbling of bags drive me up the F'in wall!! And i agree some people's chewing are way worse than others.
grvonny Are you sure you have Misophonia? I have seen countless comments posted by people with Misophonia, and I have not read any comment that stated diet made a difference. If you are actually talking about Misophonia, I suppose yours is a rare type that can be affected by diet. I have a really healthy diet, so I definitely know that diet makes no difference in my case.
nar3sas I use to run from the table when I was younger because my dad smacked his lips when he ate, Believe me I have it. As you get older it can get worse and it did for me. All I can tell you is that I have gotten rid of (or at least tamed it) for awhile. It's not just eating healthy, I cut out sugar, salt, preservatives and meat for awhile and just ate quinoa and vegetables. I tamed to the point where very little bothered me. That diet is not sustainable though so it's tough to do. At this point this problem is understudied so we don't know that much about it, don't rule out possibilities.
grvonny I am well aware of how it works, and it has definitely gotten worse for me since I first developed it. I am a health-conscious vegan, which means I have at least close to the best diet possible. I can see meditation helping, but diet is not going to touch it at all since diet mainly deals with physical conditions. I am not ruling out possibilities for people with Misophonia in general, but I know what works and what does not work in my case to a great extent.
mouth/eating noises are my biggest trigger too. i find it ironic that your sharp "S" when you speak is a common trigger. maybe it's just the quality of your microphone.
hi, I suffer from misophonia too, I really wanted to watch this video but believe it or not, the sound you make between talking , the little lip smacking sound, is actually a big trigger of mine , I had to turn the video off !
HAHA - this is the funniest thing about Misophonia - that the people who want to help us and who create those videos - they also trigger us..haha so we are all making ourselves "raging" with anger..haha funny
I agree! Lip smacking, that weird chewing thing people do when they are reading, loud eating, any sort of "mouth noise" will set me off. The lip smacking she did was a bit of a trigger for me...
I dont know if you noticed but half the things that you did in this video were effects of misophonia and it drove me crazy please be careful you dont make people cry cus i had to lock myself in the bathroom it was that bad
In Spain the doctors I know, don't even know what this is, that could be undertandeable, but they don't make even the effort of learning about Misophonia and inmediatly they tell you that I'ts anxiety, social phobia or that annoying sounds are unpleasant for everyone. Its frustrating.
I hate chewing, breathing, that breath people take after drinking, the sound of people gulping, people talking to themselves, the sound of certain peoples voices, I also hate watching people chew. Im sick of everyone calling me a phsyco , crazy, radge , I cant help it, its not my fault...
sniffing make me what to cry because I have misophona I feel your pain I go to school every day and have to listen to it other things bother me like chewing gum and chewing ware ear plug I can't because I have a phobia ware I freak out if something goes in my ear so earphones for me
Everyone should checkout misophonia.info . Join the support forum if you have misophonia, because over 2000 members are always happy to help you or listen to whatever you have to say. It's great!!
hey guys, it's really confidential but I have to ask. My mother thinks that my misophnia may be linked to the child abuse that I suffered. Does anyone on here have any correlation to that because I'm not sure. But yes, I really do have a strong form of misophnia
see this and other videos on online marketing family dot org. These sufferers need to realize the sounds are not gross to the majority of the population. Therefore, it is important to learn to make comments that will not get others defensive. If you say, "those noises are gross"., then our response is, "it is not gross, annoying." instead, comments need to be more like, "I have superman hearing for many normal soft sounds and they actually cause me pain."
you wouldn't want to anywhere near my house then.. One of my triggers also is barking dogs. They have a pomeranian and two other yappy dogs. and they don't stop for anything.
I'm dying in my apartment because 3 of my walls border other people and they walk around so loudly. I wake up after a night of no sleep and I have to leave! And I have nowhere to go. Visuals of gum chewing makes me want to die. It's getting so bad.
Sufferers do find the noises more tolerable when they are peaceful within. Check out Misophonia forums and dot info. Miso or 4S is hearing sounds at a different frequency than everyone else- truly. It's a syndrome where noises are painful to you but others don't hear. It is like how dogs hear a dog whistle and we don't hear it at all. You have probably heard of mosquito ringtones.
i need an opinion, its weird i wanna be a music producer, because i love music but i think i have this misophonia because when i was young and still to this day sometimes , chewing and people shaking there leg while sat still, pisses me off so bad , so does the hoover, some people playing guitar, little creaking sounds and generally any music i don't like literally enrages me, even tho i appreciate everyone has a right to listen to whatever they want.
Nail biting nail clipping chewing munching smacking clicking texting small movements in the corner of my eye tapping clicking of a pen apple eating stomping spitting sounds from far away gum smacking clock ticking cars driving by when people slam their hands down on stuff etc and I am only thirteen my life is horrible misophonia is horrible
Totally with you. You summed up all my feelings in that paragraph lol. Snoring is the fucking worst excuse my language. Jaw moving even without the sound... shoot me.
Gum chewing is the worst for me. It drives me almost insane when people are chewing it, especially with their mouth open. I curse the day gum was invented.
Music does not really bother me if it is played on a decent music player. Some people play music on really crap music players and it sounds distorted - that bothers me. Hate heavy metal music. Hate when people scream especially girls when they scream out of excitement. Hate the sound of flip flops! Hate loud talkers. Hate loud laughing. Hate doors slamming. Hate the noise of plactic bags. Hate loud televisons and radios. Hate any kind of sound from the mouth especially grinding teeth. Many more.
Call the police to witness the barking or video tape how much the occurrence is. They will be citied for sound ordinance. You also may be able to sue on grounds it is effecting your quality of life such as sleep deprivation, peace and quite, and rest. Barking dogs is becoming an epidemic in all neighborhoods, and has to be the most inconsiderate sound in any neighborhood who want to enjoy their yard. Barking dogs are like second hand smoke ...Only louder. Good luck!
I just found out about misophonia yesterday! What a HUGE, HUGE relief that there is a word for my 'crazy' and I'm NOT the only one! Thank you!
Wow! You just explained how I've felt my whole life! I too just found out about this a couple of months ago via the Today Show and am so relieved that yeah, we aren't crazy! There is a name for this!

Thank you for making this video, it's so relieving to know there are other people out there like myself. I just found out about this disorder earlier this week, it really helps knowing that I'm not alone. I would love an update video to see how you're doing.
I so have this. People eating corn nuts, carrots, cereal, chips, etc just drives me f'n crazy. I'm happy to know I'm not the only one out there.
Hi! I too have Misophonia! I have all the same triggers as you do! It's very much a relief to know that there are others out there that suffer from the same thing.
Thank you for the video! Sometimes I feel like I am the only person in the world with this. I am glad that I'm not alone!
i love that you made this video.i have lived with this all my life. i am am 41 years old and had never heard the term misophonia until about a year ago.it is impossible to make someone understand how this makes you feel.it gives me terrible panic attacks.i never go to movies b/c there will always be someone crinkling a candy wrapper or chewing loud.both of my best friends would crunch there ice all the time and didn't understand until recently what it did to me.it is so hard to deal with.
My triggers are, Splashing or trickling water, metallic sounds, mouth sounds,computer keyboard and mouse clicks, and even hearing often repeated words i.e. "basicially".I must wear earplugs quite often.
Hey Sierra,
I have the exact same problem! You aren't alone! I first started getting really annoyed with my dad and chewing gum and coughing ect...It got really bad and sad because my family didn't think I liked them but they/myself didn't know what was up with myself. I'm now 20 and only about half a year ago my mom researched everything and told me what it was.. but I'm going crazy! Earplugs at night are my best friend, and headphones in the car are another good friend of mine : ) Good luck!
I just recently found out what this stupid condition is, that's been driving me nuts, (also my family and friends who get so annoyed with my "fussiness"), and I'm grateful beyond words to be able to tell them there's a REASON I get so flippin' mad at their noises!! So I've been scoping UA-cam finding these videos and finding others who suffer just like me, and it's amazing! But you, girl, you have said "like" approximately 4,000 times!! I can't watch your video past the 5:00 mark!
I'm sorry you are suffering from this. I understand because I have it too. Ever since I was a little girl. It's so nice to know I'm not alone and not crazy. At this point I'm searching for treatment, but until that point support def helps. Just know you're not alone.
I found out a couple months ago on 20/20 and I knew instantly! I FEEL for you and everyone else here. It's horrible. My mom thought I was just a mean B***H but it turns out she is my main trigger. In high school and college I'd have anxiety because 1) I could hear people chewing or 2) I could see their mouth/jaw moving out of the corner of my eye.
I didn't know that was a trigger, but it IS for me and to hear you have visual triggers too is a relief to me.
I identified with you 100%! Thank you for posting this! Here's another thing that used to drive me crazy: my mom had TMJ for a while and every time her jaw moved up and down when she ate, it popped/cracked. UGHHHH!!! I just wanted to take her food away and say THAT'S IT! STOP IT! NO MORE FOOD FOR YOU!
I'm so glad to see other people out there like me, and who are figuring out that they have misophonia! I have been struggling with this most of my life, and only a few months ago was I so frustrated with it, that I searched it up, and I'm so unbelievable happy that there are people out there with the same problem. My whole life my family has been telling me to just get over it, but it's so hard. And they are mainly the only ones that I lash out on about it, or that I can talk to about it with. M
Yes, I think that is part of the reason why I have it too. My mother was always abusive. One of my triggers is a visual trigger - I hate it when people are throwing or waving their arms up in the air. I instantly feel like I have to defend myself, usually I just look away.
I just found out today that this is what I have! At dinner I would have to get up and leave or turn on the TV and my parents always thought it was just a tolerance thing and im so happy to finally put a name to it and know there are others that have this problem!
The feeling of finding out that there are other people who understands how it feels is priceless! For me, having a pair of headphones with noise reduction in my purse is gold! Even if the battery on my phone is dead I pop them in and relax!
When people say, "Oh I have that then too!". No. Just no, they have no idea how torturing it is.
I feel loads better!!!! I am a 14 year old girl with misophonia and its very hard because my parents get horribly mad when I act out or get hyper sensitive and all they tell me is "this is your problem, not mine!! I will chew as loud as I want in my own house!!!" and the only resort I have is earplugs and music. Can somebody please contact me and let me know I am not so alone?? I don't know anybody with this besides my self and I would just lime to speak to someone who also suffers. -Sierra
I'm 14 years old and i have had this my whole entire life and the only thing i have ever found is always listening to music
Smacking & gum chewing are two of my biggest triggers along with loud music or any repetitive sound. I was very glad when I found out this was a real issue & not just me being crazy.
I have this thing too...wow...what a relief to know what it is...
Yes! Same here. Been like this for over 30 years, now my daughter has it. Eating, gum chewing and typing are the worst. So hard for others to understand. So bothersome. I'm sorry you deal with this, too.
Hey! My name is also Aaron and all I can say is I'm glad I'm not alone, its terrible because no one understands and you can't just tell people to stop coughing or to stop smackin their lips or whatever it may be.
I figured out I had this a couple months ago and once I did I felt so relived, that I'm not alone, there's other people out there like me! The big triggers for me are sniffing, Slurping, and clearing your throat. My dad does all of these things every morning, every night. I go insane inside. I tell him to shut up and stop it and he just didn't understand. My family doesn't understand. Sometimes they make the sounds in purpose! I just wish they could understand what we go through! I told him abut this and he seems interested. I really hope that this torture will stop. In school i take a rest and literally every five second someone sniffs. I glare at them, try to make them get the hint! Umm what are tissues for? It causes so much stress, more than I already have feel
Just school in general.
I have this too. My mom frustrates me the most.
I can't stand breathing sounds, yawning, chewing, lip smaking, slurping, bubble gum popping, typing, nail clipping sounds, and cutlery sounds. When my family eats dinner I have to have ear plugs in and turn the volume of the T.V. up really loud.
I also can't stand looking at people when they eat. I hate the way their jaws move. Even if they don't make a sound, I just hate the fact that they have something in their mouth.
:(
Hia I am so glad to find this video its exactly how I feel!
I just found out that there is such a real disorder like this. I thought I was just way too sensitive all my life. I cant stand sniffling, smacking, slurping, nail picking and stuff. I literally cant be around it or I end up acting like something is about to kill me. I know how you feel that you just found out that you have this disorder too now. Glad to know its not just in my head.
Finally, someone like me! I'm 18 and I think this started when I was about 10. But I know what you mean when you say it has cost a lot of relationships. I have gotten into so many arguments (and actual fights with my sister's) with my family because of this. The one visual aspect that drives me insane is chewing with the mouth open. It's like I anticipate the sound. But thank you for sharing your story! I don't feel crazy anymore
Wow I relate to almost everything you said in your video! I'm 15 and I've only had misophonia for about 2 years. I have a lot of the same triggers, except the dogs barking. The worst for me is chewing (gum especially) and scraping metal dishes/silverware. I also have visual triggers that are sometimes worse than the sounds themselves. I try to block those with my hand like you do but it doesn't work most of the time. My school days are extremely painful because so many people chew gum and that sound along with the sight of people chewing drives me the craziest. I have a hard time telling my friends or strangers to stop eating or tapping their fingers or whatever, because I don't know how to explain it and I do get worried they might think bad of me.
I've read a bunch of articles and all these comments and there are so many adults that have had this for their entire lives. I can't imagine this kind of pain for that long, especially having to deal with it at work or with a husband or wife. I do always feel bad for getting angry at people that trigger my annoyance, but that doesn't get rid of out the urge to scream and cry and strangle them.
My trigger sounds are mostly chewing, smacking, breathing, snoring, or any sound that they make with their mouth. Also some movements or just little things that people do. I'm so glad to have found others like me, and thanks everyone who shared in the comments!
Thank you so much for sharing the story. I don't know what I will be doing because we moved to the new house and I can hear highway, children playing behind the house, football trainings, my husband typing, chewing or other people repetitively moving in my view. My husband love this house and I think that it is beautiful house too, but everything bothers me ... When something triggers me I go nuts - upset, aggressive, than helpless, crying. I am really tired of myself and I decided to change that. I cannot afford the doctor, so I am listening all kinds of the colored noises ... Hopefully, one day I stop to be so sensitive for all kinds of triggers ... I wish luck to everyone else with misophonia in fighting it ;)
I absolutely can't stand it when people cough. Its far past the point of being annoying. Right now it's at the point where every time someone coughs and I hear it, I get immediately upset and angry within seconds and theirs nothing I can so about it.
OMG my roommate coughs constantly and it drives me insane! I've counted 12 in one minute - are you kidding me! Fix it or just shut the F up! It is so disgusting I want to knock him out with a 2x4. Asking him to stop does no good - I think he finds great pleasure in annoying me as he has no life and has nothing else to do. I cannot afford to more or I would. I hope I don't end up in jail for decking him. I get woke up EVERY morning to the sound of his incessant coughing. How do you cope???
It's difficult, but what I do now is I wear headphones almost constantly, I live with my family right now Becuase I just graduated highschool but for now I wear headphones constantly when I'm around people, it's weird I know but I'll do anything to not hear that sound again. Also it's weird because I find that the greater the relationship I have with the person making the noise, the more it personally affects me.
Aaron King
I've noticed that too - the more of a relationship that I have with them (wanted or not) the worse my reaction is. That is probably why people want to call this a psychological problem I just need to get over!
I have the exact same thing.
I'm 13 and i found out last year and ive seen 4 doctors 1 hearing doctor and 3 Psychologist. It has not helped at all besides the first doctor told me, Just tell yourself It is not hurting you, it helps until you can get out of that. Oh my God as i was typing you said that people will do things and i have to look away thanks for all the Great Mesophonia UA-cam's.
brushing teeth gives me goosebumps, ever since I can remember. Anyone chewing, gum is really bad so we all sit alone to eat. Its that bad. flipping pages of a book, playing with a keypad or a phone, typing, drives me mad. Sticky tape (and my husband does packages a lot, so that drives me up the wall) - slurping tea, drinking from a bottle. rustling paper or plastic wrappers, the list goes on.
I thought I was alone and I'm so glad I'm not.
Furthermore, misophonia and depression have striking similarities. In both cases, the victim (again, speaking from personal experience) doesn't feel as though their deep emotional pain is valid or that it matters. Both diseases also carry an immense amount of guilt. We "shouldn't" be depressed and we "shouldn't" become enraged over breathing, but we need to accept the reality that we are. If anyone has any other questions or just wants to talk, let me know. I'd be more than happy to help.
The correlation between visual and hearing is senses. You have a sensory proscessing disorder, as I do. It's annoying and sucks so bad. Had a rough day today, and seeing you finding this out as well helped me. Thank you for posting.
I grow really resentful with my family because I don't lash out at them - even though I really badly want to. I'm just so aware of how alien and irrational my feelings are.
The worst for me is CRUNCHING. God. I just need to get as far away from it as possible. Summer is the worst for me when we eat salad every single day - I'm always the first to leave the table but most of the time I'll just avoid eating with my family. I hate it and it really does cause me such anxiety.
It's so relieving to know other people have Misophonia as well and struggle with how they hear their triggers. I also have certain visual triggers, but it's mainly sounds that get to me. Chewing gum and ice are two of my biggest triggers, basically anything crunchy. If anyone wants to talk about it further, feel free to send me a message.
I'm from the UK and i suffer from misophonia, I'm only 14 but I know i have it because I have read about it online a lot and it's describes perfectly what I go though, I can only remember having this problem since i was 12 or 13. My common triggers, are any sort of eating, somebody being loud eg, talking or screaming in another room, dishes clashing, leg shaking or foot tapping. When i see or hear these triggers, i can no longer focus and i feel really angry i just want to rip out my hair and push the person whose causing the noise in their face. I mostly only end up telling the person to stop it or shut up, and if they don't i leave the room and say i'm already in my room and hearing some making noise or talking in another i have to put headphones in or put my fan on or say i'm in the living room i turn on the tv and put volume up alot to try and block out the noise. None of my family understand how it feels, they always just say i'm easily annoying and they tell me to stop moaning about it. Which makes me upset that don't want to help me with my misophonia and that they don't care. I just want to let anyone know i know how it feels to have misophonia, and that your not alone:)
I literally thought I was crazy or just really cranky for years until I finally found out about this it explains a lot. Nobody understands how bad these sounds make me feel. I try really hard to have patience with my younger kids but inside I'm freaking out and it makes me so mad. I'm actually realizing that a lot of my problems in general are neurological. I get very bad headaches that last days at a time even up to a week and I have to carry injections around with me to stop them if I can't handle it any more. Even the sound of my cat cleaning herself bothers me. I have a list of issues that are all linked to neurology.
typing on the keyboard, and texting, and clicking from the xbox remote bothers me, but when i do them things it doesn't bother me, it's ruining my life ..
Mine is barking dogs. Even if the bark is in the distance. Or when dogs bark on TV. I get anxiety attack my heart starts to race. I hate it.
My absolute worst trigger is throat clearing, and I have an office full of throat clearers. 14 of 23 people within earshot do it, and it averages about 1000 times per day. I have had to beg and plead for an alternative work schedule so that I can get away from the noise. I also have these headphones that block out nearly all the noise, but they get extremely hot. Sometimes it gets so damn bad, I want to make myself deaf. I even wish sometimes that I were dead to just get away from the noise.
Read the book "Sound-Rage. A Primer of the Neurobiology and Psychology of a Little Known Anger Disorder (amazon.com, 210pgs) Misophonia is a developmental, neurological disorder. It affects the neural processing of triggers (auditory, like chewing) in the insular cortex. Pain and danger neural pathways are stimulated in the miso brain.
i cryed in an exam. heres why:
flicking through pages, clicking pen, people walking around, clock, people clicking pens, sniffing, typing on a calculator, a pencil on paper noise, coughing, clikcing, people baning there leg, there sleeve brushing against the paper.
and the chewing in chewing gum kills me. aaargh
OMG !!! I'm not alone. Heard about misophonia and was terrified about people who have the same things that drive them crazy. Chewing, chomping, the throat sound from guzzling water, clipping finger nails. Especially when someone is whistling around me. I want to jump off a tall building...lol. When someone squeezes their plastic water bottle after they slurp their water. Dragging their feet when they walk. Try to coexist in a world where every noise around you can send you over a cliff.
Bose needs to come up with selective noise canceling ear implants for this. My wife has the "motion" part too. She can't stand people making repetitive motions with their fingers.
I want to learn more on how I can help the girl I'm crazy about manage her Misophonia. I want her to not feel alone in dealing with it. It can be hard to understand for an outsider but I am determined to help her in this battle :)
It's just so hard for other people to know how I feel when they crunch their chips with their mouth open or smack their lips. I try to explain to my family that I have this problem and they don't me seriously, while continuing to chew like horses. I literally have to go in the other room or put headphones in while I'm around my dad or sister because I just can't keep my cool. I wish more than anything that my family would quit at least what they could prevent. But even when my dad eats, the food swishes around in his throat and it's just as bad. It's so bad to the point that I get headaches and I could just kill someone at those moments. I want to be able to enjoy time with my family, but as soon as we eat, I hear that chomping and it ruins the whole day for me.
It was the over use of the word "like" for me - massive trigger that my own son does all the time.
I really hope I can find a way how to cope with this... I'm literally starting to go a bit crazy haha. I get A LOT of anxiety when I'm with my family in a room just because I KNOW the sounds are coming. I had a tenant living below me for half a year and he had a weird breathing habit and he would "SIGHHHH" a lot.. and I could hear it all, so one day I went haywire and smashed a table lap over my knee LOL. It's weird because ppl know me as the kindest person, but this is how much unbearable it is
I really do not know what to think. I feel like I have misophonia, but I did not notice anything until my 8th grade year which was 5 years ago. The sound of chewing (anything) drives me crazy, licking lips, swallowing, drinking, water drops. Even looking at someone lick their lips or chew bothers me without even hearing them. smacking lips (without eating. Even the sound of me chewing makes me uneasy. I usually internalize everything so instead of yelling or raising my voice, I grunt, and I also have a panick attack which causes me to cry. I throw temper tantrums and punch things. Does anyone else act that way or am I just a baby? I just feel so worthless when I react badly to things, especially when I love that person and they do not deserve it.
You aren't alone I act that way too. It gives me high anxiety when I hear chewing, paper crumbling, and much more
+jazzy jamie I actually started taking Vyvanse (adhd medicine) 2 days ago and it seems to help a little. I think it will decrease my sensitivity to sound each day, until it is gone. It gets exponentially better each day. 😆
I tooottt understan u! Thanks for Sharin! :) ..in my case, 4 example, i can nooot eat w my dad, period! Im a peace n love person in aaall areas of ,y life at all times n i dont even raise my voice in a diacussion, there always much better n civilized ways of facin anythin n anyone in life.. BUT when it comes to those specific sounds tht each of us (ppl w misophonia) have..there is not even a second between d level 1 n d level 1000000 of absolute GGRRRROOWWRRRR! feelin! n yeah i tot agree w u,th
in science class the other day I resorted to peeling the yellow paint off of my pencil with my fingernails because the sound of people chewing gum & eating chips behind me was driving me up the wall. I still have the pencil, it's broken in half....
I just found the term " misophoneia" and it is 100% me too. Along with the chewing or crunching I also have a reaction of rage to seeing someone lick their finger before counting money or turning a page of a book. I work in an office and the sound of people typing is going to get me fired soon when i flip the $&&(# out! I am glad to have found that there is a diagnosis and im not crazy. Im wondering if it should have a dufferent name because the "phono" part means sound and its not just sound. I think i may try hypnosis because i need to stop getting this pissed off .... Soon. Well thanks gor sharing , it def. helped :)
Wow, I thought I was the only one who is driven absolutely INSANE by my mom moving her fingers around on the steering wheel. So wonderful to know that I'm *not* crazy after all!!!
Hahah I can't stand alot of noises, but more so when I am in deep concentration. Heavy breathing, crunching, chomping, gum, snoring etc. but some people irritate me more then others. Hard to define why exacty
I have been suffering with this for about 20 years, both sound and visual. Discovered today that its an actual disorder! All these years I thought I was crazy! I think its caused by bad mannered people who have no consideration for others. Nearly killed this guy at work because he kept picking up his keys and slamming it on the desk for about 20 mins! Cant stand food eaters they are the worst. This stuff causes me to hate people. Hate ambulance sirens and public announcements on the speakers!
Does anyone find movements unbearable, like someone's ticks, or repeating words? Breathing also does it. Does misophonia covers these too.
yes def it does
Terry Brooks yes! A guy at work shakes his yogurt pot before he opens it, Makes me want to punch him into a coma.
You're talking about misophonia??? You smacked your lips two times in the opening few seconds...
My brain sucks! I can't live with this..
Ikr!
Marko Stjepanovic yeah bro is bullshit if somebody performs oral sex on her and she enjoys that sound then what the hell is she talking about. The problem is that she's in denial the fact that when she hears those sounds she's trying to run away from something that naturally sexually turns her on
I know exactly how you feel!! the sound of someone chewing loud, clipping their or brushing their teeth pisses me off.
I SWEAR I HAVE THIS ON EVERYTHING THAT I LOVE I HAVE TRUE ISSUES WITH PEOPLE YAWNING I HAVE TO LITERALLY COVER MY EARS I FEEL LIKE IM ABOUT TO EXPLODE THE WAY PEOPLE CHEW AND DRINK CERTAIN WAYS I CAN'T CONTROL HOW I FEEL I CAN'T BELIEVE IVE FOUND OUT WHAT THIS IS!
Eating, fidgeting, heavy breathing, potato chips/crisp eating pisses me off. .... to name a few
I have misophonia as well. Ijust figured out the term a while ago. I hate it. I totally know how u feel. If u figure out any more post something about it
some visual triggers i have are:
- when people move their tongue around in their mouth to get food out of their teeth after eating
- picking at nails
- rubbing your hands together
- running your thumb back and forth across your index finger (something my mom does)
Yeah sniffing drives me up the flippin wall...and slip slops aaauuggghhh!!!!!!!!
To you, and anyone else reading this, I recommend Noah Hammond's three part mini-series on mastering your emotions (I think thiscould be related to misophonia). Though the videos aren't directly misophonia related, and actually don'teven mention it, it seems to be helping me with my own misophonia so far. Check out his other videos too. Anyway, best of luck!
I bet you this is caused from our diets. I have been suffering with this for a long time. But there are time when it is worse than others. High heels and crumbling of bags drive me up the F'in wall!! And i agree some people's chewing are way worse than others.
It is not dietary at all, but you probably already know that by now. My diet has had no effect on my Misophonia, so it is clearly a genetic condition.
nar3sas
Nope I have gotten rid of it before. High sugar and caffeine definitely play a huge roll for me.
grvonny Are you sure you have Misophonia? I have seen countless comments posted by people with Misophonia, and I have not read any comment that stated diet made a difference. If you are actually talking about Misophonia, I suppose yours is a rare type that can be affected by diet. I have a really healthy diet, so I definitely know that diet makes no difference in my case.
nar3sas
I use to run from the table when I was younger because my dad smacked his lips when he ate, Believe me I have it. As you get older it can get worse and it did for me. All I can tell you is that I have gotten rid of (or at least tamed it) for awhile. It's not just eating healthy, I cut out sugar, salt, preservatives and meat for awhile and just ate quinoa and vegetables. I tamed to the point where very little bothered me. That diet is not sustainable though so it's tough to do. At this point this problem is understudied so we don't know that much about it, don't rule out possibilities.
grvonny I am well aware of how it works, and it has definitely gotten worse for me since I first developed it. I am a health-conscious vegan, which means I have at least close to the best diet possible. I can see meditation helping, but diet is not going to touch it at all since diet mainly deals with physical conditions. I am not ruling out possibilities for people with Misophonia in general, but I know what works and what does not work in my case to a great extent.
mouth/eating noises are my biggest trigger too.
i find it ironic that your sharp "S" when you speak is a common trigger. maybe it's just the quality of your microphone.
Dearly Beloved yes I to hate the sound s like he'll I just can't tolerate it
I have the same problem.
Hearing people breathe + nose whistling makes me want to jump out of my skin and hide under a rock. I can't have sleepovers because of misophonia.. ):
I wish I was deaf
I also wished I was deaf until I started taking Vyvanse.
+Rochelle Foxx I just don't know if my mom would let me take medicine for it.
+JazzyJamie why wouldn't she allow that?
+Rochelle Foxx because it's not prescribed by a doctor and she doesn't think it's as bad of a problem as it is
Miso sufferers actually experience pain from common noises the rest of us can't hear!
hi, I suffer from misophonia too, I really wanted to watch this video but believe it or not, the sound you make between talking , the little lip smacking sound, is actually a big trigger of mine , I had to turn the video off !
HAHA - this is the funniest thing about Misophonia - that the people who want to help us and who create those videos - they also trigger us..haha so we are all making ourselves "raging" with anger..haha funny
I agree! Lip smacking, that weird chewing thing people do when they are reading, loud eating, any sort of "mouth noise" will set me off. The lip smacking she did was a bit of a trigger for me...
One of my big ones is I cant stand the way people pronounce certain words it drives me fucking crazy and I want to scream punch them and cry
I dont know if you noticed but half the things that you did in this video were effects of misophonia and it drove me crazy please be careful you dont make people cry cus i had to lock myself in the bathroom it was that bad
i don't go to the movies anymore just because of the damn popcorn
I'm the same way with my family
In Spain the doctors I know, don't even know what this is, that could be undertandeable, but they don't make even the effort of learning about Misophonia and inmediatly they tell you that I'ts anxiety, social phobia or that annoying sounds are unpleasant for everyone. Its frustrating.
I hate chewing, breathing, that breath people take after drinking, the sound of people gulping, people talking to themselves, the sound of certain peoples voices, I also hate watching people chew. Im sick of everyone calling me a phsyco , crazy, radge , I cant help it, its not my fault...
sniffing make me what to cry because I have misophona I feel your pain I go to school every day and have to listen to it other things bother me like chewing gum and chewing ware ear plug I can't because I have a phobia ware I freak out if something goes in my ear so earphones for me
Everyone should checkout misophonia.info . Join the support forum if you have misophonia, because over 2000 members are always happy to help you or listen to whatever you have to say. It's great!!
hey guys, it's really confidential but I have to ask. My mother thinks that my misophnia may be linked to the child abuse that I suffered. Does anyone on here have any correlation to that because I'm not sure. But yes, I really do have a strong form of misophnia
see this and other videos on online marketing family dot org. These sufferers need to realize the sounds are not gross to the majority of the population. Therefore, it is important to learn to make comments that will not get others defensive. If you say, "those noises are gross"., then our response is, "it is not gross, annoying." instead, comments need to be more like, "I have superman hearing for many normal soft sounds and they actually cause me pain."
Taylor29ish you sir just took the words right out of my ....
you wouldn't want to anywhere near my house then.. One of my triggers also is barking dogs. They have a pomeranian and two other yappy dogs. and they don't stop for anything.
I'm dying in my apartment because 3 of my walls border other people and they walk around so loudly. I wake up after a night of no sleep and I have to leave! And I have nowhere to go. Visuals of gum chewing makes me want to die. It's getting so bad.
People who don't have Misophonia don't have any idea what it's like
Sufferers do find the noises more tolerable when they are peaceful within. Check out Misophonia forums and dot info. Miso or 4S is hearing sounds at a different frequency than everyone else- truly. It's a syndrome where noises are painful to you but others don't hear. It is like how dogs hear a dog whistle and we don't hear it at all. You have probably heard of mosquito ringtones.
i need an opinion, its weird i wanna be a music producer, because i love music but i think i have this misophonia because when i was young and still to this day sometimes , chewing and people shaking there leg while sat still, pisses me off so bad , so does the hoover, some people playing guitar, little creaking sounds and generally any music i don't like literally enrages me, even tho i appreciate everyone has a right to listen to whatever they want.
before u talk about misophonia dont smack infront of your video
omg i was just thinking that as i passed ur comment
Nail biting nail clipping chewing munching smacking clicking texting small movements in the corner of my eye tapping clicking of a pen apple eating stomping spitting sounds from far away gum smacking clock ticking cars driving by when people slam their hands down on stuff etc and I am only thirteen my life is horrible misophonia is horrible
Totally with you. You summed up all my feelings in that paragraph lol. Snoring is the fucking worst excuse my language. Jaw moving even without the sound... shoot me.
Gum chewing is the worst for me. It drives me almost insane when people are chewing it, especially with their mouth open. I curse the day gum was invented.
right on good examples.. but
Music does not really bother me if it is played on a decent music player. Some people play music on really crap music players and it sounds distorted - that bothers me. Hate heavy metal music. Hate when people scream especially girls when they scream out of excitement. Hate the sound of flip flops! Hate loud talkers. Hate loud laughing. Hate doors slamming. Hate the noise of plactic bags. Hate loud televisons and radios. Hate any kind of sound from the mouth especially grinding teeth. Many more.
Call the police to witness the barking or video tape how much the occurrence is. They will be citied for sound ordinance. You also may be able to sue on grounds it is effecting your quality of life such as sleep deprivation, peace and quite, and rest. Barking dogs is becoming an epidemic in all neighborhoods, and has to be the most inconsiderate sound in any neighborhood who want to enjoy their yard. Barking dogs are like second hand smoke ...Only louder. Good luck!
me too i just found out 2 days ago after like 25 years. :(
