To the Editor: Misophonia, characterized by increased sensitivity to sound, results in intense emotional and behavioral responses to triggering auditory stimuli. Observed to share symptoms with anxiety and obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders, misophonic symptoms are acknowledged as a separate, underrecognized condition. Recommendations for diagnostic classification have been identified, with variability in the emotional response to auditory sensitivity theorized (ie, distinction between those experiencing anxiety/distress and those experiencing anger/rage).
