220 | Gross Sounds

Shane and Abraham (Shanebraham) explore the not-a-disorder, but still very real experience that many people have. Misophonia (not the sound of musical miso, although that's what the name seems like it should imply) is a relatively common experience of an extreme aversion to certain sounds. For Abraham it is heavy machinery, for Shane, Avril Lavigne (jk!). Shane and Abraham have fun unpacking the science behind how misophonia develops and what you can do to change it you want to. <br /><br />Links for Today:<br /><br /><br />1. <a href="https://www.differentbrains.org/resources/misophonia/" rel="noopener">https://www.differentbrains.org/resources/misophonia/</a><br />2. <a href="https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/misophonia-sounds-really-make-crazy-2017042111534#" rel="noopener">https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/misophonia-sounds-really-make-crazy-2017042111534#</a>:~:text=Nonetheless%2C%20misophonia%20is%20a%20real,more%20people%20than%20we%20realize.<br />3. <a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1534650114566924" rel="noopener">https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1534650114566924</a><br />4. <a href="https://www.soundrelief.com/treatments-for-misophonia/" rel="noopener">https://www.soundrelief.com/treatments-for-misophonia/</a><br />5. <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/misophonia" rel="noopener">https://www.healthline.com/health/misophonia</a><br /><br />We are on Reddit! <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/WhyWeDoWhatWeDo" rel="noopener">https://www.reddit.com/user/WhyWeDoWhatWeDo</a> <br /><br />Recommendations<br />- Abraham: Have a game night!<br />- Shane: A Quiet Place (Movie; <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6644200/)" rel="noopener">https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6644200/)</a><br /><br />You can reach us directly at 775.525.0908, at <a href="mailto:info@wwdwwdpodcast.com">info@wwdwwdpodcast.com</a>, through the comments below OR on social via @wwdwwdpodcast or #wwdwwdpodcast.
