SUMMARY:Dissociable effects of hyperacusis and misophonia severity imply different mechanisms of decreased sound tolerance
DESCRIPTION:The guest speaker in our Patient Education Programme (PEP) planned for 21st July 2025 6:30 to 7:30 PM (UK time) is Dr Jamie Ward who is a Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Sussex.  His research concerns the neurocognitive underpinnings of unusual sensory experiences with a long-standing expertise in synaesthesia\, and a more recent research profile in atypical sensory sensitivities including misophonia. In addition to his research\, he is well-known as an author of leading textbooks (Students Guide to Cognitive Neuroscience; Students Guide to Social Neuroscience). Joanna Barker (Audiologist\, Specialist in Tinnitus\, Hyperacusis and Misophonia Rehabilitation) will be hosting this PEP meeting.\n\nIn this PEP episode\, Professor Ward is going to discuss the superficial similarities between Misophonia and hyperacusis\, which makes their diagnosis\, treatment\, and discovery of underlying mechanisms challenging.  Although misophonia is defined as negative reactions to specific trigger sounds\, formal testing suggests that a wide range of sounds are problematic to people with misophonia (albeit to different degrees).  Jamie will be presenting evidence from a variety of methodologies – questionnaires\, ratings of sounds\, and brain imaging – that point to similarities and differences between these conditions. There will be the chance to ask us any questions\, so please join live to ask your questions!\n\nThis event is suitable for members of public who are interested to learn about tinnitus\, hyperacusis and misophonia\, patients\, parents of children with hyperacusis or misophonia\, students\, Audiologists\, Hearing therapists\, Hearing aid dispensers\, Psychologists\, Psychiatrists\, Otologists\, Neurologists\, Speech and language therapists\, Occupational therapists\, Nurses\, Teachers of the deaf\, social workers\, General medicine\, or other qualified health and social care disciplines.
