It can start as early as four in the morning . . . Your upstairs neighbor stomps his feet. All of a sudden, you go from being half-asleep and calm to a nervous wreck. You’re tired, exhausted, and you’re upset.
Those who don't have misophonia don't understand. They just don't "get it." One reason for this is the way we describe misophonia. A child says, "I don't like that sound," and the parent says, "You need to get used to it." The parent doesn't understand.
Psychologists from the University of Sussex in the UK are investigating the phenomenon of misophonia where sounds like chewing and tapping can trigger intense irritation, anger or distress in some people.
