I’ve always hated the sounds of chewing, slurping and sniffling – but now I know I’m not alone | Imbi Neeme
After decades of enduring certain sounds, author Imbi Neeme discovered misophonia was a real condition. And she wasn’t suffering alone
If we have ever eaten a meal together, it’s likely I’ve wanted to kill you.
Before you contact the authorities, please let me explain: I am not a serial killer. I suffer from a condition called misophonia, where small sounds such as eating, sniffing or clicking trigger an extreme reaction which – to me, at least – feels like a thousand tiny needles jabbing at my brain.
Imbi Neeme’s novel Kind Of, Sort Of, Maybe, But Probably Not is published on Tuesday in Australia by Penguin
