  • Summary

  • Candid conversations with people who live with Misophonia. Misophonia is a disorder in which there is a strong sensitivity to certain sounds. A person with misophonia feels rage and an inability to focus on anything but that sound. It feels like a fight-or-flight response. Host Adeel Ahmad has misophonia and interviews other "misophones" from around the world. All episodes are edited to be more sensory-friendly including equalization and brown noise.

    #204 - Between Two Ears Episode 1 - MisoCon 2024
    Nov 7 2024

    In this episode of Between Two Ears, I share highlights from my recent experience at MisoCon 2024 (The Misophonia Association convention in Atlanta). I discuss key presentations, including Dr. Jane Gregory’s insights on reframing sound experiences for managing misophonia and Jaelline Jaffe’s exploration of connections between childhood experiences and misophonia. I also reflect on the importance of informal discussions with other attendees, the thoughtful accommodations that make the event more comfortable, and the unique sense of understanding among fellow misophones. Join me for a firsthand look at this impactful gathering, plus live clips from attendees.

    #203 - Paula 🇫🇷
    Oct 29 2024

    Paula is a psychology student in France. Paula first noticed misophonia when she was 13 or 14 years old and felt intense emotions when hearing eating sounds. It took several years for her to discover that misophonia was a real condition. Paula's parents were supportive but initially didn't understand what she was going through. She coped by eating at home and avoiding triggering situations. Paula is now starting therapy to help manage her misophonia and hopes to understand the triggers and find long-term solutions. Just a quick note that due to technical difficulties we got cut off a little abruptly near the end. It was just around the time we were ending anyways so you get pretty much the full conversation. Hope to have Paula on again in the future to maybe talk about her new therapy.

Misophonia Mindfulness

I am so grateful to have recently discovered this podcast! I have been struggling with misophonia since I was 12 years old but it has been most unbearable the past 5 years - especially during the pandemic. I am a casting director and single mom in Los Angeles....so many noises and sounds trigger rage, fight or flight, anxiety, stress, fatigue, and feelings of madness. After a recent episode, it became clear that intervention was necessary. Thank you for your calming and honest approach to an absolutely maddening disorder.. I look forward to listening to more episodes and learning ways in which I can provide personal peace.

Fantastic

It is absurd that such a powerful neurological reflex is not described in the DSM-5 or ICD-10. As a member of the medical community, I am glad to see that this podcast exists.

I particularly appreciate that the podcast features behavior analysts at the top of the field (e.g. - Tom Dozier).

The host is very respectful and empathetic while asking great questions.

It would have been a 5-star review...

.... but, i found myself holding my breath with a tenseness building the longer I listened. No triggers other than my own memories and my elevated heart rate. This was my first time I've listened to anything regarding misophonia. Which I've recently been able to give my phonetic sensitivities... including the LED's he was talking about. I can relate. Being that I'm now 61 yrs old, all I can think of right now is, "My poor wife." :)

Excellent resource for those with misophonia!

This provides resources that have used successfully, and some not so much. It’s great to just hear others are like you, empathy in the ability to relate, really makes life more bearable.
