This week I'm talking to Los Angeles actors and filmmakers Lorin and Eric Davis about Lorin’s experience with misophonia and how it shaped their new short film. Lorin shares how her sound triggers—especially crinkling bags, rummaging noises, and even typing—show up in daily life, and how she’s learned to cope through hot yoga, silence breaks, sleep, and masking sounds. The couple also discusses how clear communication and empathy in a relationship can keep misophonia from turning into resentment, even when everyday habits like snacking become unexpectedly stressful. Their project, “Auditory Problems,” is a comedy that lets the main character act out the socially “unacceptable” impulses misophonia can provoke, blurring what’s real versus imagined for the viewer. As they head into post-production and festival submissions, Lorin and Eric hope the film helps people feel seen—and lets the community laugh with a little more relief.
