Thank you so much for this video! I have been doing a lot of research on misophonia since my son started having symptoms, but this video is the only source I have found for real solutions. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Is it possible to have Misophonia towards singing? My toddler will react angrily and it can trigger a meltdown if someone sings or plays a song thats not one of her favorites. She can also sometimes react this way to another child crying or even to adult conversation if it's not what she wants to hear. But it's not towards the typical sounds like a loud vacuume or someone chewing for example.

Isn't Hyeracusis better hearing? That's not a sensitivity, it;s better hearing. So not an over sensitivity. What we really need are environments that are so outrageously sound insensitive. The little kids who cover their ears will keep their hearing longer. Louder to who?The louder noise is a noise they have control over and not a noise they have no control over that is assaulting them. Why does humanity have to become deaf to nuances and to noise that should not be created and is created out of a lack of sensitivity or caring.

The healing rate of my Tinnitus the very first time I apply and use Dr Madida medicine gave me a good impression that it is gonna work and it did work because right now I don't longer experience Tinnitus Effects anymore that I use to experience because the conditions is completely gone.

I haven't seen the video yet, but my question is: is sound sensitivity (hyperacusis) in autism children or adults can be measured, if yes, how? I hope to have the aswer by viewing the video and if not, here's the question and I would be immensely grateful if I could get an answer. Another question is whether autism can be objectively diagnosed or not and if so what test(s) to do. Thanks.
