Üsküdar University NPİSTANBUL Brain Hospital Psychiatrist Dr. Emrah Güleş made evaluations about misophonia, which is defined as "being disturbed by certain sounds".
Repetitive sounds are annoying
Stating that misophonia is formed by the combination of the Greek words to hate and sound, Psychiatrist Dr. Emrah Güleş said, “In this disease, the person's tolerance to certain sounds is reduced. Chewing, swallowing, deep breathing, mouth smacking, typing on the keyboard, tapping of fingers on the table and rattling noises are among the most disturbing sounds in this disorder. The common feature of such sounds is that they are generally repetitive sounds. The response of misophonia patients to these sounds is usually in the form of feeling angry or restless, and they try to avoid or escape from these sounds.” said.
Misophonia begins at the age of 9-12
Noting that misophonia is more common in women, Psychiatrist Dr. Emrah Güleş said, “The cause of the disease is unknown, but it is considered both a neurological and a psychological disorder. Misophonia begins on average between the ages of 9 and 12. Studies show that there is more activity in some parts of the brain. We can say that obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety disorder and Tourette's syndrome are frequently seen together in patients with misophonia. In addition, people with tinnitus also have misophonia.” he said.
Behavioral therapy can be successful in treatment
Psychiatrist Dr. Emrah Güleş said that there is no agreed treatment method for misophonia, but therapy methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and desensitization therapy can be successful.
