What Is Misophonia?
4. Visual Triggers
It is not only sounds that can trigger discomfort in misophonia patients. Visual triggers can also cause be the cause of uncomfortable reactions in some cases. Indeed, a study has shown that almost 12 in 100 patients with the condition will experience visual triggers as well as audio triggers.
Visual triggers are often movements that are associated with a certain sound. For example, some people might be uncomfortable by the movements of a hand that are needed for somebody to click their fingers. Repetitive motions will also be a trigger for some people, and patients with misophonia tend to also have a problem with repetitive sounds.
