Misophonia

What is misophonia?

Misophonia, which means 'hatred of sound', is a condition in which certain everyday sounds trigger intense feelings such as anger, panic, and a need to escape the sound. Researchers think the condition is caused by a disruption in the sound processing system in the brain.
