Ben is from Kentucky and now lives and works in Indiana. This is the first time Ben has talked about misophonia and he shares a lifetime of experiences going back to his toddler years which had some very negative events and I want to just issue a content warning that there is some discussion of abuse at the hands of a babysitter. He discusses his early memories of being triggered by chewing gum and then the challenges growing up with misophonia, especially in quite male and sort of macho environments. Ben was also a minor league baseball player and we talk about some of the unique challenges in that environment. We talk about how he copes and how he handles it now with his family and son.
