The researchers gave 772 participants a questionnaire as a way for them to understand the intensity and complexity of misophonia while judging the causes of the noise and reactions.
If the sound of someone chewing gum or slurping their tea gets on your nerves, there may be a scientific explanation for your irritation, a study has revealed.
A new study reveals that about one in five people have misophonia, which is a strong negative reaction to every day noises, like chewing, breathing, and yawning. The reaction may be most severe when the sounds are coming from a loved one, like your partner.
