Guest guest Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Very interesting I just found out that the girl who moved into our old house (after we moved to build a house with acoustic insulation for my daughter’s bedroom who suffers from Misophonia) now also has misophonia! Her mother said it started shortly after they moved in—her daughter was 9 at the time. Is this just proof that misophonia is just way more common than we know? Or is there something environmental? Our old house was very clean and didn’t have a mold or radon problem. I just was floored when I found this out! Makes you think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Just out of curiosity, what were the first sounds that started to bother your daughter when she developed misophonia? Was it something environmental she could hear from that house, or the more usual mouth/people noises?

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 No one knows yet why misophonia develops or if every person follows the same pathway. I asked the question because I developed it relatively late (14-15) and in response to a new sound that I hadn't heard before but hated from first hearing. It all snowballed from there. Back when I thought it was just me, I always assumed that if I'd never heard the first sound, the rest wouldn't have happened. Now I know there are 1000s of other people with the same problem, I think my brain clearly had the capacity to do this, but didn't set itself off at a young age as most others have described. It took a new sound to start things off. But I still wonder if it could have remained latent (at least for longer if not for ever) without the first sound. (Note that others in my family also thought the sound unpleasant, but it didn't cause them to stick their fingers in their ears and run cringing to the other end of the house). Someone else on the list who has misophonia himself described how his daughter developed it at age 13, but it was initiated after his wife drew the child's attention to some irritating sound and thereafter she couldn't stop noticing it. What if that hadn't happened? Would something have triggered her misophonia eventually, or might it have remained in check? Are there people out there with latent misophonia that has never been initiated by anything? That's why I wondered if there was some triggering sound that both girls heard at the house. Even if so, it is still a coincidence that they both had the capacity to develop misophonia. But perhaps there was no sound and the whole thing was a coincidence.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 The sky is light at night; the reflection of the full moon in my sake glass as I contemplate the greater meaning of lesser things... why does emotion seek meaning in meaningless chemistry, and life seek meaning through death... Also, why does coughing p!$$ me off so much? Everything you've mentioned was stollen from my heart and mind, though I find comfort in knowing I am not one of a kind. Thank you for letting me know that much of me can exist in others who are not as I. I developed misophonia around 16 or so in response to my father's coughing. It spread by way of me noticing sounds which my mind had previously dismissed that were comming from the others of our society, for whom my mind figured it necessary to study and find fault with in response to my unending attentions. Now I live within my mind's missgivings, unable to free myself from a web which was of my making, though my web once given the order, had spun itself independently and refused to be undone with the powers that spun it so delicately; I have hence created a cobb web in my exertions and misinterpretations. I am not guilty, nor do I clame to be innocent; I have no true missgivings nor due self loathings. I am a victim of my past fear and anger, though mine is simply more difficult to bear than that of others because of my indepentent attentions. It is no excuss, but their's does not exist either; a fact which they cannot accept, as they have no immediate use for it. -Jarred " No one knows yet why misophonia develops or if every person follows the same pathway.
