What is the phobia of mouth noises?
Individuals with misophonia often report they are triggered by oral sounds — the noise someone makes when they eat, breathe, or even chew.
Why do I hate mouth noises?
The cause of this fury stems from a condition known as misophonia, which is stimulated by ‘trigger’ sounds typically originating from facial activity; most famously the sound of chewing. Misophonia can be experienced so severely that it can affect relationships and prevent sufferers from engaging in social situations.
Why do I get so mad when I hear chewing?
You may suffer from misophonia, which literally translates to “hatred of sounds.” Some sounds – like nails on a chalkboard – make most people cringe or squirm with displeasure. But if an everyday sound (breathing, chewing, sniffing, tapping) triggers an intensely negative reaction for you, misophonia may be to blame.
How do I stop being annoyed by sounds?
To do this, I recommend:
- Don’t overprotect against sound. The more you protect your hearing, the more fear you invoke about these sounds.
- Systematically expose yourself to the sounds you hate.
- Talk to a medical professional.
- Minimize your stress.
- Get support.
