The modern menu of sound is a vast aucanite buffet, but just as plainly, many sounds are thrust upon us. We've got new diagnoses that have popped up that just never existed before. Some people seek out sounds that trigger what's called a s m r, or autonomous sensory meridian response. And then there's misophonia, a condition that was identified relatively recently. The name means hatred of sound, although the man who named misophonia admits the name is imperfect.
