Petition: Misophonia is a REAL disability and deserves to be treated as such!

This petition is meant to draw awareness to the fact that misophonia is a real disability that impacts sufferers and their families in a meaningful way. Misophonia is not a joke, nor is it something that persons should just be told to “get over”. Misophonia is a neurophysiological condition where sounds (and sometimes visuals: see misokinesia) cause a fight-flight response that is very…

I think noise pollution is hurting us (people in general) more than anyone acknowledges

Like. Hearing damage happens way way below the threshold of pain. And some very normal common sounds exceed that threshold.

And hearing damage isn't the only thing!! Hypertension and sleep disturbance and migraines and heart disease and immune system effects and fucking birth defects and mental health degradation are all results from excessive noise too

And collectively as a society we have decided this is fine????

You can tell from the. Everything.

Cars are the obvious one in America but I bet the trains in places where they have proper transit do it too (the train near my house sure does!). Aircraft and sirens and notification sounds on everything and smoke detectors (did you know it's illegal to alter your own smoke detector in your own home to make it quieter??? Did you know that smoke detectors absolutely cause hearing damage every time they go off?? Did you know that some people including me and one of my wives are incapacitated by sufficiently loud sound and are therefore put in far more danger if there actually IS a fire?? Did you know my wife once had to be rescued from a false alarm because she couldn't move once the fire alarm started???) and power tools and subwoofers and stadiums and and and

And all this push for denser and denser cities --even from people who appear to actually prefer the welfare of humanity at large--the whole walkable cities thing requires LOTS of density. Less cars might help but it might NOT help ENOUGH. Has anyone thought about the noise that comes with living that close? How are we going to manage it?? I'm not saying there's no solution but it must be addressed, we can't just handwave that

Why am I the only one who cares about this??

#I'm going to drown anyone who reblogged that ''your misophonia makes you an asshole'' post and I don't care if you think I'm an asshole #Noise exposure is not neutral. It is a serious environmental health issue. You are causing real and measurable harm. #eilooxology #eilooxara rants

WIP of a tiktok I’m making about Phone

(This totally has nothing to do with the fact I’ve been going through a misophonic episode- I’m not projecting- hush- (on a definitely totally completely non related note the Portal 2 soundtrack is a great destresser and u should listen to ur favourite music is ur having a freak out of any kind (rizz up that bad boi)))

im not having a certified Misophonia Moment im just feeling a bit lonely about it rn

#theres always this nagging insecurity in me thats like. oh maybe its not real and im just faking it to be a jackass #bc i see so few people ever talk about it or how to cope with it #what actually prompted this was an ad on instagram like advertising these ear things for ppl with misophonia #and it just hit me really quickly like. i think thats the first time ive seen someone try to advertise an aid for it? #or just use the term misophonia #idk its like. validating but its also got me kinda sad #i feel like part of it is like the intrusive thoughts? idk if its appropriate to apply that term here #but like misophonia is legitimately agonizing and puts the worst kinda of thoughts in my brain i feel horrified at later #abd i get really heated actually trying to talk about it #so theres a lot of anger and desperation around the topic and i worry abt getting dismissed at best or demonized at worst #and thats not me putting the blame on us i just wonder like. how much people decide we’re not worth acknowledging over that #echoed voice

#i love joe i do #but the fact that i can hear his snoring through earplugs closed doors AND while in a separate room is #its takin a toll #i think its getting worse tbh but i cant like tell for sure bc its always been super bad and loud #before people start ab sleep apnea: healthcare is a nightmare rn and he doesnt seem to want to see anyone ab it #which. idk i guess its not that serious?? the most it affects him is i dont sleep in the same room anymore #bc i have real bad misophonia and snoring is one of Those Noises #plus like even if they invent the worlds best earplugs that block out all sounds forever #he snores so bad it vibrates the mattress #so... now we got our own sleeping spaces #but hes still like snoring really bad #connecticut was kind of hell bc theres only so much anyone can do #he's also a very heavy sleeper so its not like i can wake him up #and im a very light sleeper #so even when i go to bed first and get to sleep alright when he comes in or lays down i wake up #we've tried like #a wedge pillow some weird mouth guards this chin trap thing some nose strip things #i do genuinely think its sleep apnea so we need a cpap machine i think but those are expensive as fuck #and im not even sure if you can get one without a diagnosis?? #well. thanks for reading my vent #i promise our marriage and relationship is fine and tbh better than a lot of other people we know's... #its just this one thing #:(

holy shit, earmuffs?? you guys, EARMUFFS??? did you guys know about this shit??? a GODSEND. a fucking GODSEND. (<- just discovered the sweet, sweet freedom of Silence)

#🔪.text #aka i have been dealing with the sudden onset of the most god awful misophonia that has been ruining my quality of life #and also generally increased sensitivity to sound but the misophonia is the real reason i got the earmuffs #and bro. //bro//. #oh my god. #these earmuffs. holy shit dude. #i had been coping via literally blasting my eardrums out with loud music #which was! not great! #because i was doing that for around 6-8 hours every single fucking day #not straight. broken up in 1.5-2 hour fragments 4 times a day but still. really not good. #but my therapist recommended getting noise cancelling headphones or earmuffs #and then putting in earbuds underneath and listening to music at a lower volume #and holy shit. #holy. shit. #literal miracle. #works fucking WONDERS. #absolutely amazing. #i'm fucking thrilled. #i know it's only a temporary solution #because i obviously cannot live the rest of my life like this and i don't WANT to live the rest of my life like this #because this still isn't really a life #but for now it's better than having to blast my eardrums out just so i don't have to hear The Sound™

mike sitting at the table with his friends trying not to throw the fit of the century because he can hear the fridge buzzing and the clock ticking and the others eating

#he has misophonia real bad and also just hears every noise in the room at all times #i know hes definitely smashed a clock once before.in a fit of overstimulation. he can get kinda violent sometimes #definitely scared the others. he didnt mean it.hes a little insane

[thatthingsittinginthecorner]

Huh. Maybe that's why I like Vocal synths so much.

#for context I have misophonia lmao #One day I'll be able to appreciate the real human voice <3 #Not today though #grrr

[adulthooliganism]

if i can hear your mouth crunching your chips from the OTHER SIDE OF THIS LOUD CAFE. I THINK YOU NEED FUCKING HELP

#CLOSE YOUR FUCKING MOUTH WHEN YOU CHEW YOU DEGENERATE #when yhe misophonia . its such an intense deep genuine fight or flight response #it makes me feel stupid that i hear chewing/smacking/crunching and i actually for real feel like i need to strangle the source of the noise #aaaaaaaaaaaa

i have chronic pain every second of my life, i am so chronically ill that i will never know rest for as long as i am on this earth, yet it is the misophonia that makes me want to kms

What’s something random about you?

I hate the sound of people chewing.

As soon as someone sits down near me to eat, I'm like...

#anon answered #personal shit #i guess? lmao this was a very random question #anyone else got that misophonia... just cant handle noises without a burning rage lighting within you? #sometimes i can't even handle the sound of my OWN chewing #the struggle is real in those moments

#tunes #source: MOTHER 3 - New Pork Bossa #weirdly i kinda like this one better than the actual new pork bossa #i have misophonia and i. kinda hate the sound of the triangle because of it #not enough to send me into like. a panic like other misophonic sounds do #but definitely enough for me to be real annoyed and trying to get away from tje noise as fast as possible #but aha ha no triangle here:)

#// 'sound design' alexa please... he says it like he's doing audio engineering here. #the real answer (and I'm dropping this for anyone who's new) is that a lot of sex sfx/vocalization sets off a misophonia-like response in #him. but he'd rather not tell anyone to stfu. so. music is helpful so that 1) sex sfx is not the ONLY auditory input and 2) at this point #in his life he's stumbled across weird experimental music with moaning in it that doesn't sound bad at all?? so the solution #obviously is to play the weird experimental music so your s/o is like. doing karaoke. problem solved. #will he share this? probably not. he doesn't like to broadcast his pain points. misophonia-like response included. #so we get this kind of answer instead. #(these tags are for y'all OOC knowledge pls don't metagame if he hasn't told your muse ICly) #helianthus house
