Though there's considerable debate about whether misophonia is a neurological or psychological condition, it's undoubtedly helpful for patients to receive therapeutic services from an audiologist. Audiologists study the science of sound, hearing, and how the brain interprets sensory information. If misophonia is caused by a problem with the brain's sound filtration, sound therapy can be used in conjunction with cognitive behavioral therapy to help alleviate suffering. Exposure therapy programs have helped some patients reduce their behavioral responses and sensitivity. However, others experience increasing distress when repeatedly exposed to trigger sounds. Since misophonia is not currently recognized by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, there haven't been clinical trials or studies that can develop a better understanding. Audiologists should work with their clients regarding sound therapy strategies, adjusting them if they're not having results or making the condition worse.
