¸ñÀû: Misophonia is a sound tolerance disorder causing strong negative
reactions to specific sounds. This study aims to investigate the
types
of sounds that trigger misophonia, the emotional responses to
these
sounds, and the audiological correlates of misophonia in
individuals
with misophonia symptoms. This research is part of the An Inter-
Disciplinary Cross-National Study of Misophonia project and
reports
preliminary data from South Korea. ¹æ¹ý:Sixty-three misophonic participants (M:F = 15:48) and 30 controls
were
recruited. They completed questionnaires, including the Duke
Misophonia
Questionnaire, the Hyperacusis Questionnaire (HQ), the Tinnitus
Handicap
Inventory, and the Hearing Handicap Inventory. They also
underwent
discomfort index measurements for 46 different trigger sounds and
audiological assessments, which included the measurement of
loudness
discomfort levels (LDLs). °á°ú:The misophonic group exhibited a significantly higher overall discomfort
index compared to the control group (0.64 ¡¾ 0.29 vs 0.30 ¡¾ 0.26; p =
0.007). Eating-related sounds were rated as the most uncomfortable, in
the following order: eating food, soft chewing, slurping while eating,
and slurping. Using the diagnostic criteria for hyperacusis (HQ score >
22 and LDL < 90 dB at two or more frequencies), 26 participants in the
misophonic group were diagnosed with hyperacusis. The hyperacusis
subgroup exhibited a significantly higher overall discomfort index
compared to the non-hyperacusis subgroup (0.76 ¡¾ 0.28 vs 0.56 ¡¾ 0.28;
p = 0.002), and a significant correlation was found between the HQ score
and the overall discomfort index (R©÷ = 0.367, p < 0.001). However, no
significant differences in the discomfort index were observed based on
the presence of hearing loss or tinnitus, psychiatric treatment history,
or age. °á·Ð:Misophonia is associated with heightened sensitivity to specific
sounds,
particularly eating-related noises. The prevalence of hyperacusis
was
higher in the misophonic group compared to the control group, and
those
with hyperacusis exhibited greater discomfort in response to
trigger
sounds, with no link to other auditory abilities or symptoms. |
