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.

#213 - Lauren Harte-Hargrove, PhD - Executive Director, Misophonia Research Fund (MRF)
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.
