Quiet, please!
If the sounds of chewing, scratching, searching, yawning, clicking on the pen, touching, dripping water, snatching, whistling and breathing makes you angry or even panic, you may have misnness.
The term, created in 2001, describes a chronic condition in which certain sounds trigger strong negative answers that can affect daily life and social interactions.
The research estimates that between 5% and 20% of the population suffers from misophony, although it may be more, as it has been called “highly undervalued phenomenon”.
As if intense emotions were not bad enough, the Netherlands’ research indicates that people with misophony may have a genetic predisposition increased by anxiety, depression, post -traumatic stress disorder, and tinnitus, a constant sound or sound in their ears.
“We found that misophony genetics was related to the genetics of the personality trait” irritability “, which is a kind of the essence of misophony,” he told Psypost Dirk Ja Smit, assistant professor of psychiatric and genetic neuroscience at the Medical Center of the University of Amsterdam last year.
“You are irritated and angry when you listen to the triggering sound, which can be followed by behaviors of avoidance, feelings of guilt and much more.”
SMIT led a study using data from 80,000 people who suggested to 23andme and other sources that could have misnness.
The team selected 44 features and disorders for their genetic correlation analysis, including psychiatric and audiological conditions, characteristics of personality and socioeconomic factors such as education.
Past investigations identified the RS2937573 genetic site as a strongly linked to the sensitivity to the sons of chewing. The score is near the TenM2 gene, which plays a crucial role in brain development.
Smit told Psypost that “most results” of his analysis were “really a surprise”: he found a genetic overlap between misnness related to rage and PSD, anxiety and major depressive disorder, as well as a correlation of tinnitus risk.
“What this link leads is unclear, but Tinnitus almost always has a clear cause in the hearing loss of some kind, which may be due to a strong exposure to music, ototoxic medication, infection or aging,” he told the starting.
“But it is also known that psychological factors have a role in the level of disturbed disturbance, so it can be the bond.”
What he called was the negative correlation with the spectrum disorder of autism.
ASD is characterized by differences in social communication, as well as the presence of repetitive behaviors and focused interests.
“There was a small but negative correlation between the genetics of misophony and the genetics of autism,” Smit told Psypost. “Given that autism is often associated with sensory sensitivity problems, this was unexpected. I was waiting for a positive correlation.”
SMIT said that more research is needed on possible genetic bonds with misnness. One of the main limitations of his study, published in Frontiers in Neuroscience, is that the data came from people who identify themselves as misophony instead of formally diagnosed.
Another is that the study focused on anger as a main reaction to the trigger sounds.
Misophony symptoms may also include anxiety, disgust, fear and emotional anguish, as well as physical signs such as increased heart rate, sweating, muscle tension, and chest tension.
