Yes Crunchy foods bother me....I have to distract myself when eating them. I do not like gum at all, its to bothersome for me.

Good question Sheryl. Most of the time my own eating noises are not bothersome. Only sometimes when my tolerance is really low do I have to resort to liquid meal replacements like Ensure or a Smoothy. I sometimes eat chips or popcorn in self defense if someone else is eating them around me. I have to drown out their noise with mine and help them get to the end of the torture quicker.

For those members who are triggered by eating noises... do your own eating noises bother you? Like, can you eat potato chips or chew gum or does even your own stuff trigger you? Sheryl

I don't chew gum (makes my TMJ flare up). I can eat crunchy things and it doesn't bother me--BUT wrappers bother me, whether it is me or someone else messing with them. I can eat chips but NOT out of a bag. Have to put them in something else first because the wrapper drives me crazy.

Hi ,

Your message could have written by me. I agree completely. My whole family knows that they can't eat chips or anything else from a bag. Granola bar wrappers and cheese wrappers are terrible for me too. I have to leave the room. Anything that crinkles drives me crazy as well as when people rummage in a purse or a tote bag, Change jinglers get to me too. They would tease me at school because I could tell the denomination of the change a person had in their pocket just by the sound of it. I am 52 now and have has this problem since I was around 7 or 8. My first recollection was the bags bread used to come in. They were crinkly and had stickers on the ends holding then closed. They drove me crazy. The neighbours kids I babysat would rattle them intentionally to upset me and then laugh. I only found out recently that there is a name for this. My heart goes out to you. By the way, are you also bothered by fan noise? I don't turn on the stove fan unless dinner is on fire!!! White noise, brown noise etc. are out of the question too.

Oh no! Something else to worry about! I think my mother may have Meniere

Spectrum Disorder, though she has no TMJ. I have fairly severe TMJ ( &

tinnitus), currently on the right side which is affecting that ear. My

sound sensitivity started before I had TMJ though. My right ear has been

ultra sensitive to high sounds since I can remember. If someone starts to

talk too close to that ear I turn to get that ear further away. My own

chewing, etc. does not bother me ever. All these sensitivities seem to be

so intertwined. It is very interesting. A study would be great with

FMRI's (functional MRI) showing brain activity based on sound

input.

Reading this comment suddenly gave me the idea that mirror neurons (see

Wikipedia) might be important in misophonia.

It has long been oberved that TMJ (Costen's syndrome) and Meniere

Spectrum Disorder often occur together, but quite why no one knows or

seems particularly interested in finding out. What this does mean is that

external and internal sounds are amplified in the cochlea and so sound

unduly loud, unpleasantly so once higher areas in the brain get roped in.

Hence mirror cells in the cortex get over-excited, so not only do they

fire in response to your own sounds, but now do so when they register

other people making these sounds. This may overgeneralise to visual

signals as well.
