[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spring sports are starting up, which means it's almost time for me to sit on bleachers and listen to siblings watch videos on their parents' phones, all while trying to avoid having a stroke. Seriously, I cannot the sound. Can't explain the rage I feel. Not attending isn't an option. Can I wear noise-canceling headphones? It looks so rude, but as anyone who has misophonia knows, the triggers are awful.[/quote]

Is that what’s wrong with me? I loathe the speaker audio on phones. Going to a restaurant or any event where kids are running around with videos playing drives me insane.[/quote]

+1 I sat with my jaw clenched through basketball practice last night. It seemed rude to move away from the family who sat down near me and then turned two devices on for their children. The sound makes me nauseous, disoriented, and angry. Is that misophonia? I can go to a rock concert and tolerate loud sounds quite well, but multiple phone speakers sends me over the edge.
I do have loop earplugs so good reminder to try them next time.[/quote]

I might count to ten or twenty, then pretend I got a call and walk away.

Yes, it sounds like misophonia. Can be hard for non-sufferers to understand that it is not EVERY sound that triggers, but certain ones. You can handle a rock concert, but not content streaming over a device speaker. I can listen to the radio all day, yet go bonkers when my family all starts eating at once. I belong to a FB misophonia support group and realize how fortunate I am that my trigger sounds belong to a lot smaller pool than others.[/quote]
