Guest guest Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 i asked a leading neuroscientist(who has written a book about tinnitus)whether one, with misophonia, should see an audiologist or a psych doctor and he opted for the latter. misophonia leads to a host of mental health issues such as anxiety disorder,chronic stress,hypervigilance and depression which need to be addressed. > > Hi there, I went for an hearing test and the audiologist asked me for any information about my hearing, any problems, any deafness or what have you. Well I have certainly got her thinking because as expected, she had not heard of 4s and I think she was more than surprised when I told her that when I hear my dreaded sounds, I feel like throwing a brick through the huge glass window next to me or ripping someones head off! I said I know its ridiculous, I am a lady of 55 after all. But that how 4s affects you. And the worst part of it for me is that nobody here will take me seriously!!! > > Shirl > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hi All Journal Watch (clinical perspectives on key research and news) posted today re a Swedish study suggesting that tinnitus in children is increasing. Out of 756 children undergoing standard audiometric screening, 40 percent of children with normal hearing reported some form of tinnitus.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 The current Misophonia Management Protocol requires the skills of both the psychologist or psychiatrist AND the audiologist.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 i fail to see the reason to see an audiologist for misophonia. misophonia has little to do with ones hearing. its a brain processing issue whereby innocuous sounds are incorrectly interpreted in the brain as danger,thus precipitating an immediate,involuntary fight/flight fear response. partial or full avoidance with white noise,earplugs or ipods reinforces the idea that one is unable to cope thus giving more power to trigger sounds. it is not recommended. > > > > > > Hi there, I went for an hearing test and the audiologist asked me for any information about my hearing, any problems, any deafness or what have you.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 this I can agree with you on. When I moved out of my parents house I did good for 4 years before needing 4 months to stay at home once more inbetween roommates and jobs. When I moved back into my parents house for that short amount of time, WOW. I remembered living there and NEVER being bothered by the fact that the downstairs was tile and all sound echoed back into my room, but when I was back I couldn't even READ in my room without headphones with music or earplugs. like night and day. I guess I had been adjusted to the household sounds (considering it was all i knew before I moved out!) but after 4 years of not being there I could have sworm my family had turned our old house into just one big echo chamber!
