Chomp, chomp, chomp. The sound of chewing can really drive some people crazy! But what exactly causes the hatred of certain sounds, especially the sound made by someone chewing?
If the sound of chewing easily enrages you, you might be suffering from a disorder called "misophonia," which literally translates into "the hatred of sound." It's a disorder of neurological origin that causes a person to become sensitive to certain sounds. When the person is stimulated with the specific sound, it triggers them to become discomforted and annoyed by the sound to extreme extents.
This video by Nick Uhas goes into the evolutionary origin of the disorder, proving an insight to better understand people that suffer from misophonia.
