10 seconds is all I could take.
Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR): a flow-like mental stateIn summary, the current findings suggest increased levels of misophonia among individuals reporting ASMR relative to controls with respect to all subscales of the Misphonia Questionnaire (Wu et al., 2014) including Misophonia Symptom Scale, Misophonia Emotions and Behaviors Scale and Misophonia Severity Scale. These results are in line with previous suggestions that ASMR and misophonia represent two ends of the same sound sensitivity spectrum (Barratt & Davis, 2015).
A high prevalence of synaesthesia (5.9%) within the sample suggests a possible link between ASMR and synaesthesia, similar to that of misophonia.
why does this need a specific name? most people get annoyed by certain sounds.

I don't know that misophonia is simply being annoyed by certain sounds. The symptoms can vary from irritation to feeling panicked or enraged. But to my knowledge it isn't recognized by ICD-10 or DSM-IV, V so it's not a disorder in itself.
Yep. This is how I am with high frequencies.
I always know when old CRT TV's/security cameras are nearby and I can't go any furrier in their direction or I'll lose my shit.
I've also heard this referred to as "sense" because ti is something one merely "senses" in their head. I myself could never explain the sensation and only realize that I was 'hearing" after doing some research.
It's all about perspective; some want to say it is yet another 'disorder" to "suffer" from, some may say or a super-human ability, or it could be just another individual trait.
What Is Misophonia?
Anyone else relate to this? I have fairly intense reactions, get really agitated, when people make repetitive sounds- mainly those made with their body (sniffling drives me up the wall and makes me feel like I need to flee the room or punch someone immediately- makes me very jittery)
I wear ear plugs often just because certain sounds bother me so much. It doesnt really sound like anything but a special snowflake condition but... if thats the case Im just glad that the earplugs are a special snowflake solution I guess.
Anyways, anyone else experience this?
