聽到別人咀嚼食物、啃東西、狂點滑鼠、吹口哨、敲手指、敲鍵盤、甚至喝水的聲音等等，有時并不是很大聲，但你聽了就是會超怒。擁有這癥狀可能不是因為你情緒管控欠佳，而是 “恐音癥”。

Misophonia, literally "hatred of sound," was proposed in 2000 as a condition in which negative emotions, thoughts, and physical reactions are triggered by specific sounds. It is also called "select sound sensitivity syndrome" and "sound-rage."
“恐音癥”照字面解釋就是“憎恨聲音”，最初于2000年被提出，指的是在聽到某些聲音時，一些人會產(chǎn)生負面情緒、想法、和身體反應，也稱為“選擇性聲音敏感綜合征”或者“聲怒”。

Why some people become enraged by sounds such as eating or breathing has been explained by brain scan studies.
為什么有些人聽到進餐甚至呼吸的聲音就會被惹怒？腦部掃描研究解釋了這一點。

The condition, misophonia, is far more than simply disliking noises such as nails being scraped down a blackboard.
“恐音癥”遠不止是簡單的討厭某些聲音，例如指甲劃過黑板。

"I feel there's a threat and get the urge to lash out - it's the fight or flight response," says Olana Tansley-Hancock, 29, from Kent.
29歲的奧拉娜來自肯特郡，她說：“我感到有威脅，想要猛擊，這是或戰(zhàn)或逃的反應?！?/p>

UK scientists have shown some people's brains become hardwired to produce an "excessive" emotional response.
根據(jù)英國科學家的研究，一些人的大腦在聽到某些聲音時會產(chǎn)生“過多的”情緒反應。
