Question For the Doctors/Moedrators/Audiologists

[Guest guest]

My name is , and I am fairly new to this group. My counselor was the one

who mentioned to me that one of her other clients told her about misophonia, and

from there I began researching the condition. When discussing it with her

further after my initial research, she stated that it IS treatable, via gradual

exposure therapy (or something like that, cannot recall exact terminology). From

what I've read on this site ( and elsewhere) that does not seem accurate, but

perhaps I have not read enough of the available statistical data. Is misophonia

a condition which, with sustained exposure, one can overcome sensitivity to

previously abhorrent sounds? I would love nothing more than to not fly into a

rage or a panic when I hear someone chewing, singing in public, whistling, and

so on. If there is an efficacious therapy, it is certainly something with which

I would like to be involved!

Thank you for being here, and for the support and information you provide. It is

such a relief, after all these years, to no longer feel like I am a complete

freak.
