Misophonia is an underinvestigated condition often typified as an extreme sensitivity to specific, low volume sounds and images that elicit an intense physiological and emotional response (Jastreboff and Jastreboff, 2002, 2014; Edelstein et al., 2013; Schröder et al., 2013; Wu et al., 2014; Cavanna and Seri, 2015; Dozier, 2015a, 2017). While misophonia has been described as a distinct psychiatr...

Misophonia is a neurobehavioral syndrome phenotypically characterized by heightened autonomic nervous system arousal and negative emotional reactivity (e. g., irritation, anger, anxiety) in response to a decreased tolerance for specific sounds. The aims of this review are to (a) characterize the current state of the field of research on misophonia, (b) highlight what can be inferred from the sm...

Decreased sound tolerance (DST) is an underappreciated condition that affects the lives of a significant portion of the general population. There is lack of agreement regarding definitions, specific components, prevalence, methods of evaluation, and methods of treatment. Limited data are available on the results of treatments. Research is scant and constrained by the lack of an animal model. Th...

Misophonia, a condition characterized by extreme sensitivity to select sounds, has recently been proposed for inclusion in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) [1]. Individuals with this disorder respond with irritation, disgust, anger and distress when exposed to auditory cues ranging from eating sounds (e.g., lip smacking, chewing or swallowing) to breathing sounds ...

BACKGROUND Some patients report a preoccupation with a specific aversive human sound that triggers impulsive aggression. This condition is relatively unknown and has hitherto never been described, although the phenomenon has anecdotally been named misophonia. METHODOLOGY AND PRINCIPAL FINDINGS 42 patients who reported misophonia were recruited by our hospital website. All patients were interv...

Aim: Research show that misophonia accompanies many psychiatric disorders and should be considered a mental disorder. Although there are suggested diagnostic criteria, no clear ones have been defined yet. This study aims to investigate the relationship of with other determine its possible category in classification systems. Material Methods: We included patients who applied outpatient clinics X...

Misophonia is an affective sound-processing disorder characterized by the experience of strong negative emotions (anger and anxiety) in response to everyday sounds, such as those generated by other people eating, drinking, chewing, and breathing [1-8]. The commonplace nature of these sounds (often referred to as "trigger sounds") makes misophonia a devastating disorder for sufferers and their f...

Hyperacusis is described as abnormally sensitive hearing in which normally tolerable sounds are perceived as excessively loud (Stach, 1997). It is not associated with unusually low (good) thresholds for detecting sounds. In other words, the absolute threshold, as measured by the pure-tone audiogram, does not indicate hypersensitivity to very weak sounds. Rather, hyperacusis is manifested by ave...
