What's misophonia?
Do some of the usual daily sounds evoke overreaction to you, when you don't seem annoying to anyone else? This case of overreaction of the brain to the misophonic sound is called a deep hatred of some sounds.
What's going on?
Misophonia is a disorder in which some sounds give rise to an emotional or physiological response, which some may note is illogical based on circumstances. People with this condition may be described as a "crazy voice." Their reactions can vary from anger, anxiety, even panic, and the need to flee. This disorder is sometimes called selective sound sensitivity syndrome.
People with this condition report being disturbed by the oral sounds some make while eating food, breathing, and even chewing. Some other sounds include the sound of writing on the keyboard, fingertips, or the sound of windshield scanners. Sometimes the instigator has sequential small movements; Someone gets bored, defends, or moves their feet.
Similarly, people with misophonia say that they often interact with visual stimuli accompanying sounds, and may also respond strongly to repeated movements. Researchers believe that people with misophonia may have problems with the way the brain filters sounds; One of the features of these "misophonic sounds" may be the frequent noise. This iteration exacerbates other sound processing problems.
