Have you ever heard a certain sound and become overwhelmed with anger, anxiety or disgust? These might include sounds like loud chewing, heavy breathing, crying babies, lip smacking or someone clicking a pen. If you’ve ever felt affected emotionally or physically after hearing sounds like those, or other unpleasant sounds, then you might be dealing with “misophonia”—a condition psychologists are now able to measure.” meaning voice, and coming together to form “the hate of sound.
It’s a pleasant evening, both Sarah and her date are enjoying a homemade meal. However, as soon as her date begins to chew their food, Sarah’s body and mind go into a state of turmoil. The sound of chewing seems to magnify with every bite, and her heart begins racing as anger wells up inside her. After holding back for what seems like an eternity, she abruptly tells her date to cut it out.
Sarah’s experience wasn’t just about annoyance—it was about her emotions, deep and visceral, being set off by an abnormal or unconventional trigger. It wasn’t just her mind that was at odds with the noises, it was her brain’s anterior insula, reacting with exaggerated intensity, causing her to feel emotions she cannot easily control.If you’ve ever experienced such a visceral response to certain sounds, you now have the opportunity to gauge whether you might be grappling with misophonia.
