Hi Thanks for responding, I found a doctor in Culver city that treats

Misophonia and he received training from Dr. Jastreboff. His name is Dr. Sol

Marghzar. I made an appointment for Friday. It is very expensive. He says that

he has treated 11 people with Misophonia with good results. What is the

difference between Misophonia and Selective Sound Sensitivity Syndrome? > >
