Re: Is there a relation to teeth?

May 20, 2012

It's funny you mention that. Many of my triggers are mouth/teeth related. The thought of crunch, grind, or cotton on teeth repulses me. It also leaves a wicked sensation in my teeth. Perhaps mirror neurons are a big part of it but I have often thought I might have relief if I had no teeth since this is where the majority of the discomfort takes place.

Hi, I'm new to this group. I might also not belong here because my sensitivity is related to neighbors stereos and electrical. I go ballistic because the sound takes over my spine and I can't think about anything else. I've only met one other person who could hear what I hear. She was running a support group for hypersensitive people.

I'm curious if anyone thinks that the sounds you hear are related to how your jaw developed. Many people seem to become afflicted at around age 8 or 9. This is right after most people get their permanent teeth. Im asking this because lately I've been wondering if my problem is connected to the orthodontics I had as a child. I had head gear bands on my back molars from the age of 7 through right before graduating from high school. I've had nonstop problems with those teeth all my life. The dentist says that this is common for people who had orthodontics. Those Back molars are very close to where the cochleus (is that what it's called) is in my head. Ive read that the inner part of that coil is what makes us hear low frequency sound. In my case I think it developed all wrong because my teeth and jaw and lower facial structure were never allowed to develop on their own.

Hi, welcome to the group. I am also triggered big time by my neighbor's stereo. The bass permeates my house and feels like an assault on me. It is one of my worst triggers & the rest of my family can't even hear it.I don't recall any orthodontic work in my past that might have caused this but that is an interesting theory. I do have TMJ though. How ironic it is to have misophonia while I make the most annoying jaw clicking noises when I chew! Kirsten

I had braces (and other mouth contraptions for me teeth) from grade 6 through 8.

My issues with noises started the year before this. (I also was in a back brace

for a 23 hours a day over the course of a year due to my moderate scoliosis -

curvature of my spine... Just throwing this our there). I have TMJ also that

the doctors diagnosed after a car accident in Grade 11. My doctors really

didn't put much thought into my noise issues as a child and I still haven't

found any medical professional who seems to want to inquire into this " medical

mystery " . I am hopeful that everyone's hard work will lead to some sort of

answers in the near future. This " teeth/jaw " relation has perked my interest.

Some years ago when I started researching the " why " I realized that whatever I

thought of, it had to have been that way in my fathers' childhood and probably

in his fathers' too. I know for a fact that my father was misophonic and I

inherited it from him (so did some of my siblings and my niece so far). The

stories of the violence inflicted upon him by his father leads me to believe

that this goes back several generations in my family.

So, even tho' I had dental appliances/braces, he didn't and his father certainly

didn't. My mother smoked (and drank?) during pregnancy and in my childhood but

he didn't and his parents didn't.

I've even been thinking lately about MSG and soy in childhood but my father was

born in 1917-or-so and his father was born in 18something and I don't think soy

or MSG was as pervasive back then.

PLEASE! Let's KEEP THINKING! We have more and more resources every day we

have new members. WELCOME EVERYONE!!!

Sorry we are here/glad we are not alone.

I never had braces, but I did grind my teeth (funny, cuz I cannot stand that

sound!!!!!)

I am very sensitive to other peoples bass in the their music. It takes over

every part of my mind and body. I was always that person that knocked on the

wall or hit the ceiling with a broom handle trying to get people to turn it

down. It doesn't work Actually, one neighbor tried to fight my husband

about it. And, of course, we had no idea that I wasn't just being " easily

annoyed. "

Most of the time, people have to hyper focus to try and hear what I hear... and

I always thought that THEY were the ones with hearing issues. Go figure.
