If you suffer from this syndrome, I invite you to leave comments noises affect to you to go adding them to this list.

The noise situation in the affected causes a range of emotions such as anger, anxiety or anger and may eventually lead to avoidance behavior, aggression and even panic.

The situation becomes so extremely distressing for those who suffer from misophonia that, to a stimulus, can reach a state of anxiety and aggressiveness so great that it can shout who is generating the sound even knowing that the problem is with him or her .

And besides, not only suffers from the torture that means having to hear those tormenting sounds but often also feel embarrassed to explain what happens and even guilt know that the trauma, the problem is in it and not on who he is making the sound.
