,, Nevertheless, people with misophonia are generally unbothered when producing these sounds themselves. In some cases, misophonia is even provoked by pen clicking, keyboard typing, glasses clinking, paper or plastic rustling,, by loud human voices, babies crying, noisy neighbors, by traffic, household appliances, and even animals (dogs barking, cat walking, claws clicking). These sounds produced by human respiratory and digestive organs are typical triggers for misophonia other provoking sounds, however, could be made by any other part of the human body, including finger tapping, nail clipping, footsteps, and kissing. Misophonia is defined as an abnormally intense reaction to breathing, coughing, throat clearing, food chewing, crunching, swallowing, lip-smacking, spitting, and similar sounds. The proposed criteria could be used as self-assessment tools in nonclinical studies.High noise sensitivity predicts seven of nine criteria for high perceived misophonia.Noise sensitivity increases the odds for the occurrence of misophonia symptoms.Nine criteria for high perceived misophonia are proposed.The proportion of five misophonia symptoms is assessed among medical students. The proposed criteria for high perceived misophonia in young healthy adults and the association between Misophonia symptoms and noise sensitivity.

The combination of at least four or more symptoms, which classifies every 10th student with high perceived misophonia, is proposed as a self-assessment tool for epidemiological studies among young healthy adults. Conclusion: Noise-sensitive students are at higher risk of reporting misophonia symptoms and of being classified with high perceived misophonia. High noise sensitivity and high depression were associated with higher odds of meeting the criteria for high perceived misophonia. Only one in 10 claimed the feeling of loss of self-control when exposed to provoking sounds. Results: Almost half of the students reported the feeling of irritation against people making provoking sounds. Statistical Analysis Used: Multiple logistic regression. Perceived anxiety and depression were measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale and the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, respectively. Noise sensitivity was measured with Weinstein scale. Nine criteria for high perceived misophonia are proposed. Methods and Material: Misophonia symptoms were self-reported using the Amsterdam Misophonia Scale. Settings and Design: A cross-sectional study on 1132 medical students, aged 21.4 ± 2.1 years. Aims: To assess the proportion of misophonia symptoms among young healthy adults, to propose the criteria for high perceived misophonia, and to explore the association between misophonia with noise sensitivity with adjustment for sex, age, perceived anxiety, and depression. Institute of Hygiene and Medical Ecology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Belgrade, Belgrade, SerbiaĬontext: The association between noise sensitivity and misophonia has not been explored in any population, according to the available literature. The proposed criteria for high perceived misophonia in young healthy adults and the association between Misophonia symptoms and noise sensitivity
