  • 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.

    #207 - Sound Check 1 - AI Research Platform
    Nov 25 2024

    In this experimental episode, we're talking about a new AI research platform I am developing that blends scientific literature, lived experience on the podcast, and questions and comments from the community. You can learn more about the details and some research proposals it has generated at https://misophoniapodcast.com/research.

    In this episode, I take it a step further and use AI to generate a conversation about the platform and some of the proposals. Does the world need an AI conversation about AI? Maybe not, but this is a window into making more research more accessible to more people. And I am more than happy to use this podcast to experiment.

    #206 - Tressi Mitchell & Brooklyn Disch
    Nov 21 2024

    This week I have two guests, Tressi and Brooklyn Disch. Brooklyn you may know has Brooklyn Disch who is a misophonia coach and has all kinds of resources on her website (link below). Tressi has worked with Brooklyn and has also published a book which is a fictionalization of many of her experiences living with misophonia. Both guests discuss the challenges they faced growing up, the lack of understanding and resources available, and how they eventually connected through a shared Facebook group. They talk about misophonia as not a defect but a trait that can be managed through various strategies, including reprogramming the mind and fostering connections with others who share similar experiences. Both of them have seen their misophonia greatly, greatly reduced. We touch on the skepticism surrounding alternative therapies. They discuss the role of meditation, the impact of childhood experiences, and the importance of understanding and advocating for misophonia as a distinct condition.

  • #205 - Lila 2024

    #205 - Lila 2024
    Nov 14 2024

    This week I’m very happy to bring back Lila, a past guest from August 2023. If you recall that interview, Lila had pretty severe misophonia and was even being triggered by a neighbor during our call. A lot has changed for her in the past couple of years - she is now on the other side of the world, back in the US. She tells her story of recently successfully overcoming misophonia. The modality she credits is hypnotherapy, which has come up in some online spaces as having helped people. In this conversation you’ll hear about Lila’s background, how she stumbled upon hypnotherapy, how her process works, and what it’s been like since she did it, and her current process of follow on sessions she does on her own. I hope this sheds some real talk on a topic that’s definitely outside the mainstream and has its supporters, skeptics, and detractors. For the record, as always I’m a curious and open-minded skeptic.

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.
