Misophonia

This is going to be a post that might make you crazy! It might make you angry! It might set you off! 

This is a post about irritating noises. 

Do you ever get upset when you hear someone chewing loudly, snapping their gum, or clicking their fingernails on a table? If certain noises bother you tremendously, you may suffer from misophonia (miss-uh-fone-ee-uh). 

Misophonia is a disorder that causes people to be very sensitive to certain noises. While most people don't like the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard, a few really don't like sounds that might not bother someone else. These people are called misophonics (miss-o-fone-ix). They actually suffer when they hear certain sounds. It is not fun.
