Guest guest Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Thank you for sharing. Every article/news program gives it more power other than us being "overly sensitive" etc. Each notice gives me more hope, more courage to tell others. Keep them coming! Sent from my iPhone Found this article on misophonia in a recent issue of Australian science magazine Cosmos. http://www.cosmosmagazine.com/factfile/5487/misophonia Liesa = Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Thanks for posting. All publicity is good, even though that article is truly dreadful. There is a huge line, not a fine one, between annoying sounds for normal people and for misophonia sufferers. And tinnitus does not cause misophonia, as implied. > > Found this article on misophonia in a recent issue of Australian science magazine Cosmos. > > http://www.cosmosmagazine.com/factfile/5487/misophonia > > Liesa > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 If we see an article that is " dreadful " we must do something about it. Below is a copy of my comment to them. Please add comments. We MUST take action and speak out if we want things to change. Sorry - maybe it's because I am a child of the 1960's or it's because I've never had anything given to me. I think we should all shout out when we can Nothing written in this article is truth. It is all conjecture. There is a completely separate school of thought that sees Misophonia as a neurological disorder exhibiting as a fight-or-flight reflex upon exposure to what would be background noise for normal people. It is not psychological: psychotherapy does not resolve it. Psych meds do not resolve it. Desensitization does not resolve it. It is not OCD. Why does this get published as fact when it is written as a series questions lacking the proper punctuation? This does not offer anything to anyone. Please provide real research and science to Misophonics. > > > Found this article on misophonia in a recent issue of Australian science magazine Cosmos. > > > > http://www.cosmosmagazine.com/factfile/5487/misophonia > > > > Liesa > > > > > > > > > > TODAY(Beta) • Powered by Yahoo! > > Tragedy strikes California yacht race > > Privacy Policy > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 I agree Adah, that we must try to steer the ship in a straight course but again, when we can see the condition being discussed or presented, this is still an alerting function for many people who may look up the term and discover more.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 This is the first article I've seen in any Australian media (which is where I live). I saw anything on this topic as a positive thing, even if it might have been better without the second half. Jastreboff does admit that his treatments have not been successful. This field is even less advanced in this country than in the US. The audiologist cited in the article is the only health professional I can locate who knows what misophonia is, though her specialty is treating tinnitus and hyperacusis. If more people want to comment on the article, perhaps some links to other information and support would help any readers having their " OMG it's not just me! " realisation.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I think we should all comment when we see something in writing like this - and comment too when we see something that is spot-on. We'd get more attention if there are more people involved and we'd be able to express more points of view, including steering the ship. We won't just be leaving it up to a reader to look it up to find out more. I think many readers would just go back to " knowing " it's a psych disorder and there is nothing to help them. Despair does not allow for much curiosity. So we need to be heard. We need many voices. > > I agree Adah, that we must try to steer the ship in a straight course but again, when we can see the condition being discussed or presented, this is still an alerting function for many people who may look up the term and discover more. > > MJ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
