Dear Dr. Lynn,
I wanted to write you about my experience with you and your help with misophonia. Here goes!
Ever since I was young I have had a really hard time being around people who are eating. Any food noises including chewing, swallowing, slurping and crunching were awful to me and I couldn't stand it. I spent my whole life until recently thinking there was something wrong with me. Then I read your article in the Flagstaff Business News and it really changed my life! There was a name for what I had been experiencing and many others experience it, too! I came to you and had an evaluation to determine just what specific noises and frequencies were troublesome for me and you customized hearing aids for me and I took them home and tried them out. I immediately noticed a drastic change in the way I felt. I was feeling calmer around my family and my husband noticed I stayed longer at the dinner table instead of hurriedly eating and excusing myself so I didn't have to be around food noises. I also noticed that other sounds bothered me and if I just turned my hearing aids on I quickly felt better. I could still hear the noises but they weren't bothersome to me. You really helped me and I appreciate it very much.
Sincerely,
A.W.
