Misophonia.... sound phobia

[sparks_E39]

It's a medical term meaning "hatred of sound"
I had never heard of it before today, I know its weird but I can't stand the sound of people eating or biting their nails/chewing smacking their lips etc etc. It has the same effect on me as nails on a chalkboard, it actually can make me angry but I didn't realise it was apparently a recognised medical condition.... anyone else got sound phobias?

Most of the bizarre phobias are just a description of the in Latin, and most medical names for conditions are the same.
Just because someone translated an idea into Latin doesn't make it a real condition.

If might be real, but if it was mentioned in an email of amazing things, it's probably rubbish.

Well, I have the same as you:

Scraping plates, crunching, slurping etc.. basically all things which I consider to be bad manners... I never understand why a person can't eat quietly so that we can have a conversation whilst eating........
