The most common pronunciation of misophonia is mi-suh-FOE-nee-uh.

People with misophonia experience negative emotional, physiological, and behavioral responses to certain sensory stimuli.

Although they are the most common triggers, misophonia activators do not need to be oral or nasal sounds, or even sounds made by humans.

There are several tests used to determine whether someone has misophonia, and the severity of their misophonia symptoms.

Misophonia cannot be diagnosed by a professional until there are official diagnostic criteria. Fortunately an official diagnosis is not required to get help and accommodations.

Where in misophonia certain sounds activate a negative emotional response, certain movements are activators for misokinesia. The two conditions can be experienced together or separately.
