Our co-founder, Hazel, speaks about her lifelong struggle with misophonia, a condition that overlaps considerably with tinnitus, with an estimated 60% of tinnitus patients also experiencing misophonia.
Misophonia occurs when sounds made by other humans trigger strong emotions like revulsion.
This is different from hyperacusis, which is when everyday sounds seem too loud or painful.
Yet all of these conditions overlap significantly and might share similar mechanisms. So collaboration across the spectrum of hearing sensitivity disorders is crucial.
Do you experience misophonia?
