Guest guest Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 na, I think you mentioned before that your family has limited funds for getting you treatment. So if you wanted to try this approach maybe you could do this at home. I have not heard of anybody with our type of misophonia being helped by this approach (pairing pleasants sounds with the triggers sounds), from what I can recall. This is the approach that is useful for people who have misophonia as a result from other conditions, tinnitus and hyperacusis, which Dr. believes is an entirely different kind of situation.From: na To: Soundsensitivity Sent: Monday, October 3, 2011 10:22 AMSubject: Re: Reset for trigger noise/OCD?
