Misophonia AND SPD?

Post Reply New Topic

Is it possible to suffer from both?


I know I have sensory processing disorder (SPD) because it affects all of my senses, but someone mentioned Misophonia (Miki page on misophonia) and upon reading it, I realize I fit this description properly as well.



I'm trying to look for more information but I'm not coming up with much on the thoughts of co-morbidity. Does anyone here know more about that?

It's quite possible. I think it is often a part of SPD.

Thanks, Verandi! I'll bring it up with my doctor, we might be able to come up with coping strategies or something.

I run a constantly looping video of a fan (white noise) to filter out noises that trigger my misophonia. I up the volume when they get a bit too loud, although most are fairly quiet. Without the white noise I go slowly mad.

I have a box fan because of tinnitus, it's excruciatingly painful sometimes even with the fan, but unfortunately, one of the rage inducing sounds is my Step-Dad's snoring, which I can hear over the fan on high with a window air conditioner going, AND sometimes even with my earbuds in and music painfully loud. Maybe if I can get an official medical back to it, my Mum will actually help try to drown it out as opposed to just telling me I'll have to learn to deal with it. I agree, though, without it I'd hear everything around me all the time and go mad as well.

Snoring is one of the worst things. I shared a room with a friend at a convention once, and his snoring made it nearly impossible to sleep. Also, it drove me quickly mad and caused anxiety attacks.

I suffer from misphonia. What's SPD?

Is that why I can barely refrain from smothering my husband with a pillow sometimes? And why hearing harpsichords and be-bop jazz make me want to break windows?

And that must be why my finger-twisting stimming in the car makes him so grouchy. Thank you for posting that.
