The Misophonia Podcast
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.

Rosie is based in Newcastle and heard about the podcast from Newcastle-based misophonia researcher Paris Ash. She first noticed it as a teenager with the sound of her mom’s chewing, later expanded to include other people and sounds. She struggled with guilt and shame and felt misunderstood by her family. Rosie found support from her understanding sister and her partner, who create spaces where she feels safe. We talk about coping methods using headphones, avoiding triggers, and seeking understanding from those around her. She reflects on the connection between misophonia and dysregulation of emotions, as well as the impact of her upbringing on her condition. We also talk about the importance of self-care and self-compassion in managing the condition.
