The Misophonia Podcast

Written by: Adeel Ahmad
  • Summary

  • Candid conversations with people who live with Misophonia. Misophonia is a disorder in which there is a strong sensitivity to certain sounds. A person with misophonia feels rage and an inability to focus on anything but that sound. It feels like a fight-or-flight response. Host Adeel Ahmad has misophonia and interviews other "misophones" from around the world. All episodes are edited to be more sensory-friendly including equalization and brown noise.

  • #213 - Lauren Harte-Hargrove, PhD - Executive Director, Misophonia Research Fund (MRF)
    Feb 13 2025

    I'm excited to have Dr. Lauren Harte-Hargrove, executive director of the Misophonia Research Fund (MRF). We talk about this fund’s origins, and the evolution of research around misophonia. We start by getting a little into her background in neuroscience and her transition to the nonprofit sector. About the MRF and current research talk about some current focus areas of research, including the prevalence of misophonia, potential treatments, and the integration of AI in research. Lauren also raises some important issues like the significance of community perspectives in shaping research priorities and the challenges of conducting studies with diverse populations. Finally we also talk about the funding landscape in general in light of recent turmoil in federal funding. But overall, Lauren rightfully expresses optimism for future developments and the power of partnerships in advancing misophonia research.

    Jan 30 2025

    Dr. Jaelline Jaffe is one of the most experienced therapists working with people with misophonia, over on the west coast. Jaelline shares her journey from teaching to becoming a therapist specializing in misophonia. We talk about a ton of things, the importance of family support and school accommodations and we get into her own protocol for approaching misophonia that incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. We spend a lot of time highlighting the role of adverse childhood experiences and epigenetics in understanding misophonia, emphasizing the need for mental health professionals to be aware of these factors in treatment. We also talk about the Misophonia Association annual convention, for which she is a co-founder and board member. It’s happening again this October 16th weekend in Phoenix and we talk about what it’s all about and how you can learn more. See the link below. Also I wanna mention her new book for clinicians called “These Sounds are Driving Me Crazy!” Training for Mental Health Professionals in Treating Sound Sensitivity Disorders. It just came out and is available at sensitivetosound.com/training. Link again below.
