Dissociable effects of hyperacusis and misophonia severity imply different mechanisms of decreased sound tolerance (2024)
Journal Article
Smees, R., Simner, J., Hoare, D. J., & Ward, J. (2024). Dissociable effects of hyperacusis and misophonia severity imply different mechanisms of decreased sound tolerance. International Journal of Audiology, https://doi.org/10.1080/14992027.2024.2419558

Objective
It is thought that decreased sound tolerance can be subdivided into distinct types including misophonia (involving specific trigger sounds) and hyperacusis (broader in profile). However, there are few established methods for differentially... Read More about Dissociable effects of hyperacusis and misophonia severity imply different mechanisms of decreased sound tolerance.
