That’s good, not have a severe Mispohonia. Showing your family is also a good thing. Maybe they’ll understand more .

Thank you, I just found out about this today and what really gets to me is gum. And I will show my closest family and friends this so they could know what i’m going through. I don’t think I have a very severe case of this but when the trigger is on, i’m out.

Denise, you’re right!
Misophonia is very selective and there are certain levels for being affected by it.
Usually, the people we love the most and spend the most time with them, are our biggest triggers. If you’re not affected by the sounds of certain people, just enjoy! Great for you

Can this disorder be selective? I can’t stand to hear certain sounds but I can go to dinner with friends and I’m not affected, but certain people, or certain sounds really get under my skin!! Are there different levels of misophonia?

Oh Suzanne,
I should really write about my experience with earplugs.
I can’t wear them any more. I used them for years but I don’t know really how and why but my ears can’t stand those anymore. It’s painful for me to wear them, I mean physically painful.
About the fan..really!? I could never thought of that

I am 55 and have live this my whole life. I could say a lot, but what I really wanted to tell you as I read this post, was to buy some earplugs. It changed my life. I have probably a hundred pair. I cut them a little shorter than they come. That way, they are a little less obvious when I wear them. I keep several pair (always!)in my pockets, purse, kitchen drawer and in the car. I would be unable to attend church, shop, or do countless other activities without them. Oh, and bathroom fans. When the kitchen noise is too much, head to the bathroom and turn on the fan. Even for just a minute, it is quite therapeutic.

Mary,
thank you for letting me know.
I also hope that people will read this and understand a bit more about what is truly going on inside of us.
