Hi! I don't have a diagnosis for misophonia and there are 0, literally exactly 0 other sounds that bother me I have only heard this sound from 2 ppl ever, mom and one brother

when they chew, it doesnt matter what it is, mouth can be fully closed, I can literally hear like sloshing sounds I don't know how to describe this if you kinda gather some saliva in your mouth and then you know how you can pretend to chew? like you have nothing in your mouth but you can still move your jaw

every time they eat anything i hear the teeth hitting eachother loud followed by a wet sound if you sorta squeeze in your cheeks and get some salvia and try to pretend to chew but combine that with the teeth loudly hitting

literally CANNOT stand this I don't have a single issue with any other sound in the entire universe, at all and its only these 2 people this is coming from someone who used to grow out her nails just to stratch chalkboards to bother people

does anyone else relate? it doesn't hurt my ears or anything it just disgusts me!

Let's say you see some person playing their cell phone really loud at a bar.

Have you or anybody else called out the oblivious person on their inconsiderate behavior?

If so, what happened?

I am looking for a solution to block out loud noises which make me lose my calm. I heard about loops and thought that it might help me keep my focus intact and study meticulously. Will these pair of buds help address my issue?

Yes, it's as bad as it sounds. (Not really haha) But it is when people sit at the bar where I do most of my work and eat as loud as they possibly can. One thing that has been getting to me lately is just the fact that so. many. people. will straight up lick and suck their fingers in public. In public spaces where others can see them. The sounds are traumatizing and I cannot stand it sometimes. Lowkey tempted to just blurt out "Has anyone ever told you that that is disgusting?" Because it really is. Apologies, but thats what napkins are for. Which we always have and are always provided with meals.. so why? I'm really perplexed.

Why they spit inside plates and also chewing loudly. How I hate those awful sound. Why to spit inside place where you are eat. And of course as loud as they can Why

Slurping, munching, swallowing, lip-smacking are all noises that will drive me into instant murderous rage. I’m of an age where I can control myself and not let others see this but only just. I’ll be teetering over the edge of self-control holding myself back with the thinnest of threads. But from where did this all start??

I will not say this is the definitive cause but it must have something to do with it:

My father was an incredibly noisy eater and I believe he did it deliberately to annoy his family. He was a very angry man. He was physically violent at times but also passively so. Cutting remarks, general put-downs but the dinner table was where he was in his element. After he finished eating like a savage who hadn’t eaten in months, he would lick his plate. He did this despite mother telling him not to do that. A look of triumph on his face.

Another time, I remember trying to have a discussion with my mother about something philosophical no doubt. She never entertained these kinds of discussions with me which I found annoying. She would usually just ignore me leaving me feeling a bit stupid which I also think was deliberate. This particular time she was eating a cheese and pickle sandwich. I watched her happily munch on her cheese and pickle sandwich noticing how her hairline moved back and forth with each bit and swallow. I could have killed her in that moment for ignoring me.

This is how I think food and a murderous impulse fused and formed in me.

Title. I swear.. Baby voices are one of the MOST annoying voices people can make, and to me it seems like most vtubers emulate this sultry, super soft and drawn out voices. I don't know how to explain it but they're awful. Every time I'm watching a stream or a video and they come on it's just grating on my ears and I have to turn it off. It's like the voice people make when they're trying to talk to a baby or a puppy but it's 24/7.

Hi- I'm sorry if this is already covered in previous threads but I'm so heightened right now that Im not up for digging around. I think I have this? When I'm in any way tired, hungry, depleted emotionally.... I can't handle any background sounds. That includes my own breathing etc. a quick google search indicated that misphonia is mostly triggered by certain things like chewing etc, but I'm not sensitive to anything in particular. It's genuinely any subtle sound. When I feel like this, I have to have headphones in or white noise blaring everywhere I go. Does anyone relate? Is this misphonia?something else? I have ADHD which is well managed, and I've always thought this is a symptom of that. But it's so extreme. I panic when this happens. Help.

My brother has a language disorder and is slowly starting to be able to communicate to us, I know he has Misophonia and it's always harmed his life. He recently wanted to purchase a therapy app and said "I wanna be happy".

Because he was nonverbal I think he missed some critical things we learn as we age. I'm looking for some self help stuff I can give him (he doesn't wanna talk about it to us), he loves kids books, but I'm thinking he may also be interested in teen stuff.

Therapists wont see him because stigma. But he really wants help and I wanna give him the tools.

my roommate has a cold, we share a room, and sleeping has become difficult. i can’t wear headphones and we have background noise already on so i’m in search of other solutions 🫡🫡🫡

anybody else get triggered by visual movements? for example jiggling legs or rubbing hands/feet together? just makes this illness even worse I feel like I now have to be deaf and blind

Is there an online support group for people with this? I really could use some community

Is there a support group for people with misophonia?

Throat clearing isn’t even a trigger for me, but I realized that I started focusing on the sound, and then I started counting every time he did it.

I got nervous because that’s how my gum snapping trigger started (after sitting in an office with someone who snapped her gum all day).

Thankfully, I don’t think I gained a new trigger, but damn…….

I tried to be patient and nice because maybe he has a condition or something. It’s just….he never excused himself or apologized for the obnoxious sound or anything.

😬😬😬😬

I live next to an amateur sports club and tonight they have an evening event in the club house with a band. The male singer is awful (although Ring of Fire wasn’t too bad 😂) Why the fuck would anyone hire a band whose lead singer can’t sing?! I’m guessing it’s all they can afford 😆 I’ve got my earbuds in till it stops. Am I finding this particularly annoying because I can sing well, or is this a common complaint for misophonia sufferers?

it makes me want to smack her instantly and i feel this uncontrollable rage in my legs, but because i obviously can’t smack her, a lot of times i’ve hit my head against the wall or bit myself very hard to the point it left bruises. the sound keeps repeating in my head like a terorizing echo and i cant stop it it makes me want to cry out of desperation and anger

I walked into the living room to feed my rabbit, and i wasnt expecting my brother to be smacking his lips eating oranges so hard. It was the worst sound i have ever heard. its been a few minutes and i cant calm down. I need to calm down because i really need to study as soon as possible. Any tips for calming down, please.

A new guy joined my lab in grad school and his voice irritates the heck out of me I can’t handle it.

It’s only a problem during our lab meetings or lab lunches / socials when he starts talking. I really can’t stand the sound of his voice. At least while I’m working, I can put on noise cancelling headphones and not hear his voice.

Does anyone have tips to handle this?

I'm getting annoyed just thinking about this Certain somebody in my class. So basically I'm pretty sure I either have really sensitive hearing (or Autism Or some sort of Misophonia.) there's this classmate in my class Who sits behind me and Slurps really loudly. Snacks with his lips open and shoes with his mouth open. He's fuĉking Almost 19 years old (I'm in a sped class with multiple people different ages and grades.) and Still chewing like an animal. Sometimes I just want to reach behind him and slap him in the face and Scream in his face For him to stop chewing like an animal in a zoo. I'm trying to gather up the courage To tell him directly in his face to be quiet. Anyone else dealing with something similar right now?

My coworker talks non stop and it's taking a huge toll on my mental health. When I mean she doesn't stop for a one minute I'm not exaggerating.

I've been crying at random times because I dread being around her. Depressed about going to work.

She also breaks out into song at random and taps and hums constantly. She also has a tic where she loudly blows air out of her mouth because of germs.

Hi all,

I’m about to go on a very long flight and flying is usually hard for me because of people chewing gum (to help with their ears popping, which is completely understandable). I use an old pair of noise cancelling headphones, but they only do so much. Have you found a way to politely ask people around you to chew with their mouth closed?

It honestly feels the director knows someone with misophonia and really despises that person.

I didn't finish it, but I don't think I'll be able to sleep. I've never been this overstimulated and I didn't even watch it in the movies.

Within the first 20 minutes is one of the worst cases of noisy eating in a film I’ve ever heard. Just thought I’d warn you. The worst part is the film is absolute shite so wasn’t worth it plugging my ears and closing my eyes to get through it

This makes me SO extremely uncomfortable. It has also opened up so really fucking uncomfortable questions in my head.

I am conventionally attractive and at times in my life, she and my dad have both praised me for my looks.

I’m learning about Misophonia and it fits this feeling. I’ve brought up the licking and my discomfort to her tongue moving around in circles while I am responding to her or trying to say something, and she just says “oh I didn’t realize I was even doing it”.

Do I have misophonia or is my mom just weird af?

My assigned desk has my back to the rest of the office and I blast white noise in my noise-cancelling earbuds due to noisy neighbors.

A few times a day people come up behind me (there is NO chance for peripheral vision) and I feel rude for not hearing them/making them repeat themselves once I notice them and take my earbuds out.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I can’t focus without the noise-cancelling, but I also would like to know when people are approaching from behind trying to talk to me, at least out of courtesy lol. TY for any advice!

Hello everyone. I’m hoping someone here can help me or guide me towards the right product to buy. Budget is $300-$400.

• I don’t mind if it’s refurbished.
• I don’t mind if I look silly, I WFH.

I need some over the ear headphones that don’t touch my ears (they’re almost 3” long from top to bottom, and about 2” horizontally. Not super big ears, but bigger than average.) I’m planning on using them every waking moment. I quit drinking and since I’m not anesthesized by the booze anymore, almost every sound is triggering me, way more than before. Especially acute sounds like meowing or birdsong. Blender noises unnerve me in 1.5 seconds, as well as slammed doors. Lastly, I like silence. I could put on white/brown noise 24/7, but it stresses me out after a few hours. Silence is the objective. Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post.

On a 10 hour road trip in a sprinter. This may be one of the most horrific noises I've encountered.

I have lots more driving over the next three weeks. FML.
