Managing Misophonia

by Debra White



Delores dons ear defenders
to silence annoying offenders
who slop, slurp and crunch
whilst eating their lunch
like hogs on a pig-swilling bender.

Misophonia is a disorder where people have abnormally strong and negative reactions to the ordinary sounds humans make, such as chewing or breathing - No specific medications or treatments for misophonia have been found yet.

Tips for managing sound sensitivity include: using headphones and music to drown out trigger noises, wearing earplugs to limit noise intrusion, opting for seating on buses and in restaurants that distance trigger sounds, practice self-care with rest, relaxation, and meditation to reduce stress, when possible, leave situations where there are trigger sounds, seek out a supportive doctor or therapist, speak calmly and frankly with friends and loved ones to explain misophonia.
