Misophonia
– literally the hatred of sound – can be defined as a hypersensitivity
to background sounds or visual stimuli that are generally ignored by
other people. More importantly than the individuals inability to block
out the offending stimuli or “trigger” is the acute negative emotional
response experienced as a direct result of being in contact with a
trigger.
The response has been described as a reflexive emotional
flood of rage and panic with a storm of fight-or-flight reactions
becoming paramount. Adrenaline flooding, face flushing, heart-pounding
and/or shaking and the need to physically flee or attack are often
experienced. Via
