Misophonia
The
term
"
misophonia
"
(
Greek
for
hatred
of
sound
)
was
first
introduced
17
years
ago
and
is
thought
to
manifest
in
adolescence
____________________
almost
one
in
four
men
and
women
.
The
sounds
that
usually
____________________
a
reaction
in
misophonia
are
repetitive
behaviours
like
pen
clicking
,
as
well
as
loud
breathing
and
eating
noises
according
to
a
new
____________________
by
postgraduate
Neuroscience
student
at
UC
San
Diego
,
Emilie
Reas
.
Studies
showed
that
such
sounds
can
____________________
uncontrollable
irritation
and
even
anger
but
sufferers
of
this
newly
discovered
condition
usually
tend
to
____________________
their
reactions
in
social
settings
in
fear
of
being
judged
.
The
recent
research
carried
out
on
misophonia
is
____________________
more
light
on
how
your
body
reacts
to
such
____________________
sounds
and
the
evidence
seems
to
suggest
that
this
is
an
actual
condition
rather
than
just
a
pet
peeve
.
Even
though
there's
not
a
lot
of
research
to
____________________
a
clear
-
cut
neurobiological
explanation
,
it
is
thought
that
Misophonia
might
be
caused
by
____________________
emotional
or
attentional
processing
in
the
Brain's
sensory
auditory
circuits
,
as
shown
by
an
EEG
study
.
Functional
MRI
(
fMRI
)
imaging
has
been
used
to
monitor
the
neural
activity
of
misophonic
individuals
and
an
area
of
the
cerebral
cortex
known
as
the
"
insula
"
lit
up
in
____________________
to
the
trigger
sounds
.
Other
studies
found
that
misophonia
might
be
caused
by
the
same
connectivity
issues
that
____________________
in
a
similar
condition
:
synesthesia
where
one
stimulus
triggers
a
different
sensation
than
it
should
.
Luckily
,
it
has
been
proposed
that
conditioning
retraining
and
cognitive
behavioural
therapy
can
help
____________________
the
symptoms
but
we
should
expect
more
treatments
to
come
as
this
novel
condition
is
further
studied
.
