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.

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.

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.

In this episode of Between Two Ears, I share highlights from my recent experience at MisoCon 2024 (The Misophonia Association convention in Atlanta). I discuss key presentations, including Dr. Jane Gregory’s insights on reframing sound experiences for managing misophonia and Jaelline Jaffe’s exploration of connections between childhood experiences and misophonia. I also reflect on the importance of informal discussions with other attendees, the thoughtful accommodations that make the event more comfortable, and the unique sense of understanding among fellow misophones. Join me for a firsthand look at this impactful gathering, plus live clips from attendees.

Paula is a psychology student in France. Paula first noticed misophonia when she was 13 or 14 years old and felt intense emotions when hearing eating sounds. It took several years for her to discover that misophonia was a real condition. Paula's parents were supportive but initially didn't understand what she was going through. She coped by eating at home and avoiding triggering situations. Paula is now starting therapy to help manage her misophonia and hopes to understand the triggers and find long-term solutions. Just a quick note that due to technical difficulties we got cut off a little abruptly near the end. It was just around the time we were ending anyways so you get pretty much the full conversation. Hope to have Paula on again in the future to maybe talk about her new therapy.

Georgie is a recent neuroscience and psychology dual degree grad from the University of Colorado, Boulder. Georgie’s childhood shares many characteristics that I’ve found to be common among us, that is periods of walking on eggshells, turbulence and volatility. She also mentions other sensory sensitivities, such as visual triggers and sensitivity to vibrations. Georgie talks about her coping methods, including using white noise headphones and seeking accommodations in school. We talk about the many comorbid conditions she has been diagnosed with and medications she has taken and their effects on her misophonia. She also talks about her plans to pursue a career in clinical psychology. And of course she shares his experiences of social challenges and the shame and guilt associated with misophonia.

Klaus is an executive in Germany. He shares his experience with misophonia and how it has affected his career and personal life. We talk about growing up in an early family life that was very old-fashioned and rigid, and where he also had a brother who presented signs of possible OCD, and parents who could not understand and were constantly trying to discipline. He discusses the challenges of working in open offices and how certain triggers can disrupt his focus and cause stress. Klaus also explores the idea that being in an active and engaging environment can help distract from misophonic triggers. Klaus also reflects on the role of rigidity in misophonia. They also discuss the value of connecting with other misophonic individuals and forming communities for support.
