Abstract in brief

  • This study examined 779 individuals suspected of having misophonia, confirming 575 cases, with an average age of around 34 years and a higher prevalence in women, and found significant comorbidities like obsessive-compulsive personality traits, mood disorders, ADHD, and autism spectrum conditions.
  • The research included hearing tests and psychological assessments, revealing that individuals with misophonia often experience high levels of neuroticism and perfectionism, along with heavily impaired quality of life closely linked to misophonia severity.
  • As the largest sample of misophonia patients studied to date, the findings led to proposals for revised diagnostic criteria, acknowledging misophonia as a potential psychiatric disorder, but also noting limitations such as possible biases due to the single-site study.
