Misophonia – Dealing With Noise Sensitivity & Anxiety
Misophonia – Dealing With Noise Sensitivity & Anxiety:
Some sounds can be just plain irritating and annoying. Sounds such as the high pitch scream of a dentist’s drill or someone drilling a hole in a wall can set you on edge and make you want to move away.
Yet with misophonia, which literally means ‘the hatred of sound’, that noise sensitivity can send you into a rage and fill you with overwhelming stress, anxiety and anger. And it will often be sounds such as chewing, eating and the repetitive clearing of a throat, that is enough to make certain situations unbearable.
With Christmas approaching, and the prospect of sufferers trying to cope with, or avoid, eating with others, misphonia has received some press coverage recently.
