Toward a theoretical model of misophonia
Misophonia, literally translated into “hatred of sound” [1], is characterized by intense emotional responses to hearing specific sounds (i.e., triggers or auditory cues) as well as observing certain movements. Commonly reported triggers include chewing, breathing and sounds emitted from movements (e.g., foot or pen tapping) [2,3]. Those with misophonic symptoms often experience significant impairment across occupational/academic, familial/home-based and social functioning in response to the disgust, anger and distress caused by auditory cues [3].
