Misophonia refers to a dislike of certain sounds. Individuals with Misophonia have typically noticed problems with some sounds since they were teenagers. Misophonia, like tinnitus, involves several parts of the brain. A conditioned loop is set up that dramatically heightens awareness of particular sounds, resulting in very strong reactions, ranging from leaving the area to anger and violence. Those with Misophonia may find their dislike spreading to other sounds which can also become triggers. Misophonia can be assessed and treated.
