The sounds can be loud or soft.The term was coined by neuroscientist Pawel Jastreboff and biological scientist Margaret Jastreboff and is sometimes referred to as selective sound sensitivity syndrome.<br /><br />People who have misophonia are most commonly angered by specific sounds, such as lip-smacking, slurping, throat-clearing, nail-clipping, chewing, drinking, tooth-brushing, breathing, sniffing, talking, sneezing, yawning, walking, gum-chewing or popping, laughing, snoring, swallowing, gulping, burping, clicking dentures, typing, coughing, humming, whistling, singing, certain consonants, or repetitive sounds. Sufferers experience fight/flight symptoms such as sweating, muscle tension, and quickened heartbeat. Some are also affected by visual stimuli, such as repetitive foot or body movements, fidgeting, or movement they observe out of the corners of their eyes. Intense anxiety and avoidance behaviour often develops, which can lead to decreased socialization. Some people feel the compulsion to mimic what they hear or see.Mimicry is an automatic, non-conscious, and social phenomenon. It has a palliative aspect, making the sufferer feel better. The act of mimicry can elicit compassion and empathy, which ameliorates and lessens hostility, competition, and opposition. There is also a biological basis for how mimicry reduces the suffering from a trigger.<br /><br />Source: Wikipedia.<br /><!--SPOILER DIV--></div><!--SPOILER DIV--><br /><br /><b><span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>Common triggers</span></b><br /><!--SPOILER BEGIN--><div class="spoilertop" onClick="openClose('292115c836dcf3d3e9bd38cecb245a2a')" style="font-weight: bold"><u>&raquo; Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... &laquo;</u></div><div class="spoilermain" id="292115c836dcf3d3e9bd38cecb245a2a" style="display:none"><!--SPOILER END--><br /><i>Mouth and eating</i><br />“ahhs” after drinking, burping, chewing, crunching (ice or other hard food), gulping, gum chewing and popping, kissing sounds, nail biting, silverware scraping teeth or a plate, slurping, sipping, licking, smacking, spitting, sucking (ice, etc), swallowing, talking with food in mouth, tooth brushing, flossing, tooth sucking, lip smacking, wet mouth sounds, grinding teeth, throat clearing and jaw clicking.<br /><br /><i>Breathing/Nasal</i><br />grunting, groaning, screaming, loud or soft breathing, sniffling, snorting, snoring, sneezing, loud or soft talking, raspy voices, congested breathing, hiccups, yawning, nose whistling and wheezing.<br /><br /><i>Vocal</i><br />humming, muffled talking, nasally voices, overused words such as um or ah (repeated words), sibilance sounds (S, P, T, CH, K, B sounds), singing, gravelly voices, bad singing, soft whisper-like voices and whistling.<br /><br /><i>Environmental</i><br />Misc: clicking from texting, keyboard/mouse, TV remote, pen clicking, writing sounds, papers rustling/ripping, ticking clocks, texting and cell phone ringtone.<br /><br />Utensils/metals: dishes clattering, fork scraping teeth, silverware hitting plates or other silverware and rattling change in pockets.<br /><br />Plastic: water bottle squeezing and bouncing balls.<br /><br />Wrappers: plastic bags crinkling/rustling, plastic bags opening or being rubbed and crinkling food packages.<br /><br />Cars: sitting idling for long periods of time, beep when car is locked, car doors slamming and turn signal clicking.<br /><br />Heavy equipment: lawnmowers, leaf blower, refrigerator, air conditioning and chain saws.<br /><br />Impact sounds: other people’s voices, muffled bass music or TV through walls, doors/windows being slammed and basketball thumps.<br /><br />Animal noises: dogs barking, bird sounds, crickets, frogs, dogs or cat s licking, drinking, slurping, eating, whining, dogs scratching themselves and trying to bite their fleas and claws tapping.<br /><br />Baby: Baby crying, babbling, adults using baby talk and kids yelling.<br /><br />TV: loud TV or radio.<br /><br /><br /><i>Body Movement Related</i><br />foot shuffling (dry feet on floor/carpet) or tapping, finger snapping, foot dragging, heels, flip flops, knuckle/joint cracking, eye blinking, nail biting and clipping.<br /><br /><br />Source: <a href='http://www.misophonia.com/symptoms-triggers/' target='_blank'>http://www.misophonia.com/symptoms-triggers/</a><br /><br /><!--SPOILER DIV--></div><!--SPOILER DIV--><br /><br /><br />Hi guys, I suspect myself is a victim of Misophonia.<br /><br />I have been suffering of over sensitive of noise epsecially when i was asleep, working and doing other daily routines.<br />The feeling of anxious, angry and disgusted by the noises are killing me and also affected my daily life.<br />I believe every different person wil have different triggers.<br /><br />My triggers are as below:<br /><br />Footsteps sounds including stomping (Greatly annoyed)<br />Furniture moving sounds (Greatly annoyed)<br />Door slamming (Greatly annoyed)<br />Food chewing sound (Mildly annoyed)<br />Snooring (Greatly annoyed if my sleep was interrupted)<br /><br />Does anyone of you having the same symptoms like mine?<br /><br />As I know currently there is no cure for Misophonia.<br /><br />If you are a victim of Misophonia, how do you live with it?
