Misophonia Treatment and Management
Misophonia (also called Selective Sound Sensitivity Syndrome) is a neurological condition where specific sounds—such as chewing, breathing, pen clicking, or throat clearing, plus some mechanical noises—trigger intense emotional reactions including anger, rage, and anxiety, along with physical symptoms like increased heart rate and sweating.
This condition significantly impacts daily life and relationships, often leading to social isolation. At ACE Audiology, our independent practice provides evidence-based, multidisciplinary treatment with unbiased recommendations and access to over 20 hearing aid brands—ensuring the right solution for your needs.
Comprehensive Assessment Process
Initial Clinical Evaluation
Professional misophonia treatment begins with a thorough assessment at ACE Audiology. Our experienced audiologists conduct:
- Clinical Interview: Exploring your misophonia history, specific trigger sounds (auditory and visual), emotional responses, and impact on daily life, work, and relationships
- Audiological Testing: Comprehensive hearing assessment, including pure tone audiometry and speech recognition to rule out hearing abnormalities
- Trigger Assessment: Using validated tools to quantify symptom severity
Differential Diagnosis
Accurate diagnosis ensures appropriate treatment. We carefully distinguish misophonia from:
- Hyperacusis (general sound sensitivity causing pain)
- Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
- Sensory processing disorders
- Related psychological conditions (anxiety, OCD, PTSD)
Many people experience both misophonia and hyperacusis, requiring our integrated multidisciplinary management approach.
