Misophonia, also called specific sound sensitivity syndrome, is a neurological symptom that causes negative emotions such as disgust, irritability, etc. To certain sounds, and sometimes rapid heartbeat, profuse sweating, and muscle spasms. This disease was first proposed by American neuroscientists Pawel Jastreboff and Margaret Jastreboff. The manifestation of this disease is that it cannot tolerate certain sounds, which will make patients crazy and anxious, and they must try their best to restrain themselves so as not to explode, such as the sounds of eating and chewing, typing on the keyboard, throat clearing, sniffing, leg shaking of people around them, teeth brushing, yawning, coughing, and even breathing. Many sounds don't sound like much to others, and they can't even be felt, but even for patients with this disease, certain sounds are particularly disturbing. There is currently no effective treatment for this kind of symptom. The way patients basically fight it is to endure it. If they can't bear it, they avoid it. If they tell others, they will laugh it off and think it is too sensitive. If you are such a person yourself, don't feel strange. If there is such a person around you, please try to be tolerant, because some patients will feel uncomfortable and have a particularly strong reaction to certain sounds. Such an anti-human trait is why people with misophonia generally avoid a lot of social interactions and prefer to stay alone. Many scholars believe that misophonia is like a conditioned reflex, just like a foodie who gets high when he smells a scent.
