Guest guest Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 - thank you so much for the information. I will read up on it on wikipedia. I don't know too many people who have some of my crazy issues so it's nice to get information on here. Thank you so much!

Motion sickness is caused when the vestibular and visual systems disagree about body and/or head position. The primary problem is rarely if ever in the visual system, or in the brain areas integrating visual and vestibular information, but in the vestibular system in the ear. A hyperactive inner ear can not only lead to audiosensitivity, but to vestibular hyperreactivity. The brain can then no longer make head nor tail of this conflicting information. Even worse, hyperactive states of the inner ear are highly variable and constantly fluctuate. The brain makes a very good job of compensating for and adjusting to sensory loss or distortion, but only if it is constant and predictable. The examples of visual sensitivity on this site all I think refer to flicker or visual motion, ie VIMS (Visually Induced Motion Sickness). ********************************************************************** > > > Â > >I've had Misohphonia for about 4 years now, just found out it actually had a name until this year!

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 It sounds like it might be the same thing I have...SPD, which is Sensory Processing Disorder. SPDers have problems filtering and processing sensory input, whether it's loud noises, odors no one else notices, food textures you can't stand in your mouth, light touches that make your skin crawl.... the list goes on. > > Some things bother me with my vision as well, and it's hard to explain.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I just recently found this group & learning about what this condition is " called " .... I've had this issue since I was probably 12 or even earlier. I'm 40 now. My parents used to always get mad at me when I would ask them to stop doing the things that drove me insane. They thought it was me being " bitchy " .... The things that bother me are gum/food smacking, nail picking/clicking, change jingling in a pocket, and teeth sucking... BUT, I am also realizing there are visual problems, too! Like my boyfriend is a bad nail picker. BUT, he doesn't always pick.. he will sit there and just rub his cuticles to feel if they are rough. There is no sound involved, but when I see it I swear I can hear it. I ask him to stop and it's a huge bone of contention between us... I don't want him to think I'm crazy, but I feel crazy!! I need to figure out how to NOT let it bother me so bad. Thank GOD he does not chew gum!! ROFLMAO! > > I've had Misohphonia for about 4 years now, just found out it actually had a name until this year!

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 , I know this can be extremely difficult. Hopefully, someone will come up with something. That's why I keep going back to hear aides. I wonder if they can't be adjusted to mute the sounds.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I was going to a psychologist and he was familiar with what i describing. He had thought that it was a way that i was dealing with my emotions toward someone. B/c when i first married my husband, he didn't bother me. Then after he emotionally hurt me, i started to notice it. But i don't understand why strangers and coworkers make me go into a rage also. It's a very complex disorder im thinking with so many variables.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I have visual triggers too. I can't stand watching people chew. I also hate when people wiggle their feet. I also wish I had more visual triggers than sound since they are easier to block out. But that is not the case > > I've had Misohphonia for about 4 years now, just found out it actually had a name until this year!
