Misophonia Linked to Difficulty in Switching Emotional Focus
Hearing involves more than just the ears – it's intimately connected to how we think and feel.
A recent study has shed light on the possible links between hearing, emotion, and cognition by investigating misophonia, a condition where someone experiences an extreme emotional response to particular sounds.
The triggers can be sounds made by the human body – someone eating crisps, cracking their knuckles, or breathing heavily. But it's not just bodily sounds; a clock ticking or a dog barking can provoke the same intense reaction.
People with misophonia experience fight-or-flight responses when they hear trigger sounds.
The emotional responses range from irritation to full-blown rage and disgust.
Author's summary: Misophonia is a condition with extreme emotional responses to certain sounds.
