Misophonia Treatment - NRT and Trigger Tamer App 

It made me emotional watching this knowing there's a way I can help to reduce my Misophonia.

I need this treatment so bad- my parents are now in their 80's, near the end of their lives. I love them more than I could ever express in words. I, unfortunately, can't be as close with them as I wish to be because of my severe misophonia- my triggers are eating noises, especially my parents'. This has been the case since I was around 9 or 10. It saddens me so much. I long to be closer to them, I long to be able to spend time with them without having to get up and leave so often. I'm so beside myself with pain because of this.

The agony of living with this nightmare nobody will ever understand until they go thru it! I've secretly prayed for me to go deaf and blind! I don't know how much longer I could live with these triggers and visual triggers!

This is going to sound really cheesy, but sometimes i wonder if im ever going to be able to start a family with someone because of my DAMN MISOPHONIA! I WISH I COULD JUST GET AWAY FROM EVERYONE FOR JUST A DAY SO I CAN LIVE MY LIFE WITHOUT HAVING THE FEELING OF ANGER OR SADNESS BECAUSE SOMEONE IS SNIFFLING!!!! 😩

I suffer from what I know about myself. Only some people annoy me when they eat, while others don't. I live in the Balkans where people are healthy and strong. After hard physical work, for example working in the forest where you hand over 50 tons in one day, the feeling of misophonia disappears. The feeling of mythophony is strongest for me when I'm doing nothing. In general, when you don't do anything physically, you become nervous, you are dissatisfied, and misophonia further increases this. My advice, when you feel anger from misophonia, do heavy physical work.

That awkward moment when the people in the video are triggering you...

Ever since I was a small child I have experienced extreme reactions to every day noises. Sniffling. Nail biting. Someones gums and mouth clicking when they're talking on a video and needs a drink of water 🤬, or the test I took for 2 hours in school and one kid had a runny nose and every 2 seconds made a snot slurping sound. I jabbed my sister with a fork for chewing with her mouth open at 7 years old. All this time I thought that my brain was somehow defective. Or I had just had anger issues. This gives me hope that I can fix this. I hate the way my body feels when I hear these noises and I am so grateful that there is a way to help it! I hate asking the people around me to stop making noises. It isn't fair to them.

Thank you Mr. Dozier. This video alone helped me/is helping me with my Misophonia. Sorry, I don't have any money to give. Your kindness has made a difference in my life.

Thank you so so much. I had no idea that anyone else in the world experienced extreme responses to every day noises. Thank you so much I know how to fix it.

Hi guys... First of all this video is truly amazing... Hats off to the gentleman who is paying attention towards the problem that can hardly be understood by people who don't have misophonia.. I am really very happy to see that people are being aware about this issue.. As per my thoughts.. This is worst than cancer.. I know should not think in this manner... But when I was having this and didn't know about that I used to curse myself.. I suffered a lot... The point of saying these things is 'now I can manage' after 4 years of having this I went to a counselor... As it is the issue manier people don't know.. She thought I have anxiety issues or OCD... But she finally helped me with a therapy named NLP.. I don't know the full name of NLP.. But it works on our unconscious mind she told me that 90℅ of my problems will fade away... For that tym it was true... I didn't even realized that someone besides me eating so loud... Untill I made to realized... For now things are still better... So I would suggest you all meet up with a counselor...talk about it.. Ask about NLP.. I am not sure about how effective it would be in your cases but yeah in my case it helped me a lot... I read comments.. I can feel each and every words of your cz I had gone through it... Misophonia affected me in many other areas... It ruins the relationship with my parents..affected my self worth self confidence and so on ... Well I don't really comment but this time I think I should share my experience... Think about it and forgive me for my grammatical mistakes😁..All the best! love from India❤

Thank you so much. Nobody really understand this and u are helping so many people to solve this problem. ❤️❤️

Chip bags drive me crazy, I cannot stand chip bag rattling.. I recall my brother once did that, major anxiety problems from it

I used to say that I suffer from Misophonia, I was taught by someone I love that I actually have supersonic hearing. Of course it comes with it’s cons just as well as it’s pro’s.

Thanks for your help and research. Very grateful for your work.

It wouldn't work for me because my trigger is my neighbors scraping chairs or their dog barking. My anger response comes not from the sound itself, but from them being inconsiderate. If I play the sound on my headphones, it doesn't trigger me at all.

What I've often wondered is why does the sound not bother me when I'm the one making it? I can be snapping gum like a crazy person and have no reaction, but if someone else does it I want to hurt them LOL

Great Explanation... Really if we can somehow refuce physical reflex ,it might be in control,I will start doing it and see how it goes

Thank you so much because of you many people are getting relax from this dangerous misophonia

My grand parents are in their 60's and I always just want to spend time with them. My grandma smacks horribly and it driveshaft me insane. I just wish I could spend time with them, but it's hard. I wish my misophonia was gone. I love my family so much, it's just my stupid misophonia.

When me and my current boyfriend got together just adored his whistling and vocalized that many times, but as the months went on it became more and more of a trigger and now I tell him to stop it when he does. It makes me feel awful but its just so breathy, if he was better at it and it sounded smooth I would probably still adore it. That and his chewing. The same with my mother, her whistling and chewing. Growing up I always ate dinner in my room (luckily dinner wasn't so formal in my house so it wasn't a big deal). I honestly thought this was just the norm and that everyone would get that angry over one thing or another for years.

this guy seems nice and is a genius

I truly appreciate this. It gave me some ideas to try. Thank you :)

I hate the sound of my neighbours radio it sets my misophonia off

Me the whole video: having hope for change. Me at the end: realizing I am broke

Hi, thank you for all you teach me with this presentation. I knew today about Misophonia as my husband got other information and send to me, couldn't believe, after all these years nobody can say now I'm a maniac. I'm 60 , and at the age of 40 asked to do audition measure because I wanted to know what kind of noises I can listen, then the professional told me I can listen +25000 decibels and her diagnosis was painful-hyperacusia . I try to find tampons to filter the noise but not even those use for pilots are good because they filter words level but not what I need. The 1st detecting my problem was my dad : one day he was watching B/W TV and I was in the kitchen making dishes , then he come to me and asked if I was watching TV o r making dishes, I said obviously I'm making dishes , and asked why and he answer that all the time the tv had strips I was telling him, please fix the horizontal, please fix the vertical... Yes I can listen all kind TV with tubes... After that I start paying attention and discovered when I was walking in some commercial neighborhoods with a lot of people I become upset, bad mud, irritable, also in big meetings, or where there is metallic music special the guitar sound I will love to crash them sorry but those are my feelings , never did it...I'm not happy in the cinema if the picture can not take my to it''s world because the paper noises, people eating, or coffing ... It's very bad when I have to disseminate my upset if someone eating close to me has problem with the tooth I can support the clack, clack I had to look and I found in China silent mouse because I can not effort sometimes the click... Any how thank you , what you say that we feel like that rubber band in the body is 100% truth , and all you explain will help me with my family and friends to understand what happen is nothing that I do because I want.

I grew up a thrash metal musician...and I have a severe case of Misophonia. Quite the contradiction.

I also get, on some occasions, not only an emotional reaction, but an adrenaline dump. This has been so hard to deal with for over 30 years

I am genuinely happy for everyone this works for. It did not work for me.

Breathing and eating at the same time - the BIGGEST trigger for me.

I have an uncle that thinks its funny to smack his lips in my ear on purpose. He's done this to me every chance he's gotten since I was a young boy, and he loves making light of it. It is bad enough that 2 weeks ago I found out he has prostate cancer, and all I can think of is "I don't have to listen to his fucking smacking for much longer". Misophonia isn't a damn joke.

The app costs 42€. Why did I even had hope

I really thought this guy was trying to help us but the app is $40. Really??? This video is an ADVERTISEMENT. Shame on you Tom Dozier.

Is there any free apps for misophonia

That second happy music really made me chuckle. Thanks for the ideas.

Hi, I really appreciate this presentation, and the app! Wonderful way to combine good treatment with technology!

I want to share my experience using Wim hoff breathing technique with cold baths. It helped me to stop pills because i had very often panic attacks but it didn't help me about misophonia. I guess if we combine Wim hoff technique and pavlof experiment ex put sounds, noises which disturbs you and at the same time do cold baths. To achieve to make cold bath you must first have somebody to show you 2-3 times how to make the breathing technique. Then when you enter in ice, you are in a survival state where your organism stops to think the problems you have (any problem) because you in a state of survival. The cold at first brings you in a high tension but after you stop the cold bath you feel relaxed and happy (cold makes organism to produce hormones which makes you happy).

I want to shake your hand sir!

How often does a person eat sorbet? That aside it's so good to hear this is working.

Loud breathing. I absolutely hate it. I hate loud crunching. Hate the neighbors music. Hate loud yawning. I'm miserable

Haha I like this, I love making my music but when I walk into public I hear everything sensitively I get upset, now I wanna get out there and lower my sensitivity thanks

You explain all this but the sound comming from your mouth make me really angry and i cant continu watching the video so pleaaaase next time move the microphone awaaaaaay :/

thank you so much for making this video I'm going to download the app right now. you are doing a very good work God Bess you and I hope it works for me and others.

And-or, suck the food out of their teeth, WHILE eating or AFTER eating. It IS, RIDICULOUS. "1000,000% UnNECESSARY". .

Is it weird that family members trigger me, but not other people ?

I can break stuff in my house if I'm triggered or pound on the walls if my neighbor above me walks back and forth or slides furiture.

Ironic that Tom Dozier’s voice triggers my Misophonia

Same content as the book, even the pan-flute and trash metal music bit, and all of the case stories haha. Nice video.

Why is the app 50€ ? What`s that price, that is outrageous. I`m still probably gonna buy it, congrats.

I can't stand the voice of around 1 in 5 people, some worse than others. It's absolutely intolerable. I think I know what caused my condition, but I can't figure out how to eliminate it. The trigger lingers and leaves me reeling even after the person stops speaking, it's torture that's all I can say. Can't stand those who whistle through their teeth as they talk, whistle their letter S through their teeth, or speak in styles that cut out the end of their sentences, mumble, croak, gargle as they speak, etc etc etc etc I just can't stand it.

Thank you, sir.

So horrible to have this. Is becoming worse everyday

I am not sure if I am able to undergo this therapy, it is too difficult

I have a horrific reaction to the top note hum of my neighbors bathroom fan through the wall, not the sound you hear when you are in the room with the whole fan noise. Is this Miso? It's messing up my life

Plz can you make the app free there are people suffering who don’t have the money to pay including me please

What if I can't tolerate any sudden unexpected sounds or movements? Not just chewing or clicking? What is that called? Also, what kind of disorder is it if I cannot tolerate interruptions? Not just of sound but of movement too, like things flying in front of me or moving by too. My brain can't filter them out. They cut the chord in my mind especially if I'm in the middle of a thought, and I can't recover from it without exerting effort to erase the sound or interruption from my brain. What is that called? I can't find it on Google. The worst sound is the phone ringing. How does anyone tolerate that? I wanna strangle the man who invented that sound. Do any of you have trouble tolerating that sound too?

I love to have quiet time where my friend lives shes got quiet a lot her house and I cant have quiet and peace and be happy.. Julie usa 2015

Haha love the metal music.

Virginia actually triggered me because of all the s noises she was making.

I kind a find it really hard too record a breath in the app because it does not record that well and does sound like a breath you hear in real life. What can I do about that?

Sir I have one idea can we make such headphones which can eliminate misophonia triggers and the rest of sound will be natural like environment

Thankyou. But I cant afford $40.00. I didn't know why I thought it would be free

Really useful vedio

I’m the same with spit noises and a few others, make my blood boil. But when I see videos on it and the person looks affronted by the noise, then the other person looks affronted that the first person is affronted it’s funny as!!

Hey i want to get rid of suffering from Misophonia at home What can i do to start working on it I really need someone to talk to for the things that triggers me a lot It's been a pain for years i dont want to get worse years later or carry on

Ive had Miso since early childhood and my preschool age son is showing signs of it as well. from what ive read and watched throughout the years of knowing what this is i have one of the more extreme "coping" mechanisms that is rarely ever addressed. I have to mimic the trigger sound immediately and sometimes multiple times until the pain subsides. Imagine just 1 of the 30 ppl sitting near you at work has a cold a sniffs 3-5 times a minute and you have to mimic each one. now imaging its winter and half of the ppl have a cold and are making yhose trigger sounds.This is my life. My body is so worn by the time I get home everyday from my body stressing, anxiety, trying not to mimic the sounds which makes the pain worse, stiffening up... Sometimes even my own voice is a trigger. Earplugs and music only work breifly if at all each day if at all. Any thoughts?

I don't even wanna go back to my apartment cause I don't wanna be stressed out again I do have massages to help stress but guy messes it up Julie 2015 usa

I hate on some people due to the disgust they bring me froom the way they eat or talk. I have a friend that i cant bare listen to as he does all kind of sounds like wtf. I also wonder if il ever be able to stsrt a family... sad!

God I have so many triggers Eating Humming Stomping or heavy walking Rocking feet Licking lips Yawning Burping Any chewing noises Gulping Sighing Heavy breathing These are audio and visual triggers I think it’s safe to say I’m screwed

I suffer more severely from misokinesia than i do misophonia, and am curious if there have been any studies into that??

Two questions: 1: Some people are triggered by specific persons' noises,but can the opposite be true? I am triggered by chewing sound of all types from crunching to slurping, but for some reason I can't seem to be triggered by one specific person's chewing, even though they chew like a pig. 2: Is hyperattentiveness to sound a part of this condition? People spot triggers in a plethora of other noises and then don't let go, but I seem to not be able to let go of any sound. I hear all noises that reach my ears,and every individual conversation persists in my mind. It gets to be intimidating when I am with a lot of people, even if there are no trigger sounds present.

Mr Dozier,im thirty seven and since age four if im not in a silent pitch black room,im in a rage screaming ,'shut the fuck up' whete everyone thinks im insane,im not,i cant change,i can only have my internet phone on me to drown out noise with louder noise i actually like black metal the best

The sound of people EATING loud is SO ANNOYING, EVEN NOT EATING LOUD BUT STILL MAKING SOME NOISES IS ANNOYING why can't everyone just eat quietly

Hi Tom, I'd like to email you about my misophonia but can't find a contact?

My trigger is when birds are chirping.So weird:((((

I really can't withstand even a small sound created by my brother while reading or mugging up.He makes sound like a bee humming continously while reading. And even if he reads with small sound, i feel irritation, anger and some kind of burn inside my heart.I feel like crying and it drives me crazy. Is it misophonia or some other disorder?

Dude smaller trigger or not it create same reaction in me

Couldn't even make it past minute 2 before unironically my trigger is in the smacking and clearing of saliva in the woman speaking. Could have snapped my phone.

I have had a rough weekend when away from my apartment worries and aniexty I wish it would go away.. I don't wanna be angry at my building Julie usa 2015

nope usually there's no physical response it's just emotional. It's sad tha psycologist are so ignorant about this condition....

I do live in a building says Julie usa 2015 and the one guy has been noisy 4 years now and wont stop side tracking me and me being calm.. Julie 2015

jocelyn laboy dont offend the deaf or blind comunity juz coz u got issue's if yr children are heathy be gratful everyday!!!!:)

This damn video is a hellsite run for the hills if youve got it bad

It's NOT that i hate ALL, sounds, well, certain, different sounds, just annoying sounds that ARE 100%, "UNNECESSARY". Like, chewing and eating with ones mouth, WIDE, THE "Eff", Open!!!! It IS IGNORANT. And UNnecessary. NOone, NOONE "NEEDS TO" eat, chew like, THAT. It IS, "an EXCUSE". That's it, that's all. .

Oops, that tie is annoying grrrrrrrrrr! Only kidding :D

My misophonia has got so bad that even sex is bothering me ....

I'm sorry to state that you should never trust a person that assures you to be able to cure your misophonia because still nobody knows where it originates from. Especially those behaviouristic based treatments. Behaviourism is outdated. Other question: why should misophonia has to be cured? It is also a gift, because you are so very sensitive to sounds what makes you a great listener. You choose.

Virginias lip smacking while talking is triggering me!!! Hair standing up!!

if the guy don't stop #721 I will be sick and still got some summer to go now to go out and have fun, I wanna be happy and not upset Julie 2015 usa

That sound he made with the awful music ahhhhh!!! I can't stand it when it talks louder over the music ahhhh!!! Stop! Stop!!!

Asmr videos triggers misophonia for me 😡🤮
