“…Recently, research was conducted into the clinical characteristics of misophonia in children and adolescents [ [9] , [10] , [11] ]. Within a sample of 102 adolescents with misophonia (8-17 years-old), 79% of patients met the criteria for at least one other psychiatric diagnosis, with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder and ADHD being the most prevalent [ 10 ]. Another study with a relatively small, population based sample of 15 adolescents with misophonia (10-14 years-old) reported higher rates of autistic characteristics [ 11 ].…”

However, the relationship between autism and misophonia appeared less specific in the larger sample of Guzick and colleagues [ 10 ]. Perhaps there are underlying transdiagnostic factors, such as sensory and emotional hyperreactivity, that play an important role in the pathogenesis of misophonia [ 10 ].…”

“…Indeed, it was found that adolescents with misophonia experience greater (parent reported) sensory hypersensitivity across different domains (e.g. in tactile or visual senses) and greater emotional dysregulation in response to negative emotions [ 11 ], however more research is warranted to discover the exact mechanisms involved in misophonia in youth [ 10 ].…”

ObjectiveMisophonia is a psychiatric condition characterized by strong emotional and/or behavioral responses to auditory stimuli, leading to distress and functional impairment. Despite previous attempts to define and categorize this condition, misophonia is not currently included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders or International Classification of Diseases. The lack of formal diagnostic consensus presents challenges for research aimed at assessing and treating this clinical presentation.MethodsThe current study presents clinical characteristics of youth (N = 47) with misophonia in the largest treatment‐seeking sample to date. We examined demographic characteristics of the sample, frequency of comorbid disorders, frequency of specific misophonia symptoms (i.e., triggers, emotional and behavioral responses, and impairments), and caregiver‐child symptom agreement. Misophonia symptoms were evaluated using a multimodal assessment including clinician, youth, and caregiver reports on empirically established misophonia measures, and concordance among measures was assessed.ResultsYouth seeking treatment for misophonia presented with marked misophonia symptoms and an array of comorbid conditions. Youth and caregivers identified various triggers of misophonia symptoms (e.g., chewing sounds, breathing sounds), as well as a wide range of emotional (e.g., anger, annoyance, disgust) and behavioral (e.g., aggression, avoidance) responses to triggers. Youth and caregivers exhibited high agreement on misophonia triggers but lower agreement on symptom severity and associated impairment. Compared to younger children (aged 8−13), older children (aged 14+) appeared to report symptom severity and associated impairment more reliably.ConclusionMisophonia is a heterogenous and impairing clinical condition that warrants future investigation and evidence‐based treatment development.

Misophonia is a type of disorder characterized by decreased sound tolerance. While it typically begins in childhood, research on its characteristics in this population is limited. We assessed 90 children aged 7–18 with and without misophonia, along with their mothers, using interviews, questionnaires, and performance-based tests. Younger children with misophonia were more likely to use aggression in response to triggers than older, while adolescents largely reported self-harm during triggers. Children with misophonia did not differ from their peers in terms of ADHD, ODD, ASD, dyslexia, social and emotional competencies, head injuries, epilepsy, tinnitus, being prematurely born, or delivered via cesarean sections. However, they had significantly higher symptoms of anxiety and depression, more frequent occurrences of OCD, migraines, and psychosomatic complaints. Their mothers self-reported postpartum depression significantly more frequently than mothers in the control group. There is a need for further research on pediatric misophonia, with the involvement and assessment of parents.
