One comment in general: questions about other auditory conditions can overlook

out one big issue - when did those other conditions start?

I am in my 50s, so I could well have some age-related auditory conditions (maybe

some hearing loss and/or tinnitus).

But I have had misophonia since I was 12, and I didn't have those other auditory

conditions back then - or for a long time afterwards.

Some people might start with tinnitus and have a form of misophonia along with

that. Others might have had misophonia from early years, and only developed

tinnitus or other conditions decades later. I think these two groups need to be

separated, at some stage any way.

I've had misophonia since about 8; around then I acquired a sensitivity to fabrics as well.Before it started, I did happen to get lots of ear infections and had "tubes" inserted and removed many times.I don't know if ear infections could have anything to do with misophonia; maybe the intense pain of an ear infection psychologically "primes" one to be annoyed by noises.Or, maybe the ear infections do structural damage to the ear. But I seem to have totally normal hearing. To: Soundsensitivity Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2012 9:26 PM Subject: Re: Dr. has a New Survey Please take a moment to complete

The word " hypercusie " was coined by Itard two centuries ago. He noted that

it occurred at the start of ear disease or progressive deafness, hence loudness

problems are associated with auditory hyperfunction not hypofunction. So

deafness or tinnitus are not relevant directly to misophonia, but they do draw

attention to the ear where misophonia may have been initiated many years ago.

Audiosensitivity has been reported immediately after grommet insertion. It

is now becoming clear that there may also be long-term consequences, probably

because the middle and inner ears get dehydrated. Chronic low inner ear pressure

causes the ear to become oversensitive, without usually causing a hearing loss

as well.

Thanks G.Might the long-term sensitivity causes by the "grommet" result in misophonia?Thanks, To: Soundsensitivity Sent: Friday, April 13, 2012 10:00 AM Subject: Re: Dr.

I took the survey the other day, if you were wondering.

Yes, eventually it may do. See my many previous posts on this. An analogous

situation occurs with tinnitus, which definitely starts with ear damage in most

or all cases. A secondary psychological system can then develop on top of this

due to physical changes in the brain auditory areas, rewiring of brain circuits,

conditioning of fear and distress responses, etc, etc.
