Each of us, by nature, looks different in terms of character and priorities. Someone loves loud music and enjoys different sounds, while experiencing obvious bliss. And some prefer silence, nature and only quiet birdsong, which can bring pleasure from what they hear. All these phenomena are quite acceptable for the existence of a person with a normal psyche. But there are people in whom loud sounds cause suffering. Such individuals can be classified as phonophobes.

What it is?

Phonophobia, or as it is also called “acoustic phobia”, dooms a person to the throes of fear of various sounds, including his own voice. From listening to an audio device, they may experience a seizure condition.

Different people react differently to a sudden loud and harsh sound. Some are very scared, others just shudder. And all this is quite normal, since nature has laid in us a fear of danger.

But when a person has a panic when listening to the most ordinary sounds, not to mention a specific loud noise, this phenomenon can be called a manifestation of phobia.

Fear of loud sounds is also called ligirophobia or acoustophophobia. Some people think that all names are synonyms. And this is an erroneous opinion. Let us examine in order all these values:

  • Ligirophobia Appears when irritating and strong sounds occur. For example, people might be frightened by a working drill, drill or old factory machine. Such individuals have the impression of grinding their own teeth.To a mild degree, many people experience such manifestations, but ligirofoby can panic.
  • Phonophobia - This is a fear of harsh and unpleasant sounds that arise in everyday life. A fallen pan lid can cause them considerable suffering.
  • The most serious condition is when a person is afraid of even his voice. And it occurs with acoustophobia. Here, fear turns into panic horror at the very moment when it is waiting. For example, if someone spoke too quietly and then screamed sharply and irritably.

In addition, they are afraid of company cars with their loud sirens, alarms and even alarms.

Maybe that’s why some categories of people prone to various phobias try to avoid various mass events (sporting events, concerts, bars, shopping centers) or not to visit too busy streets, parks.

There is a rejection of those people who express their thoughts very loudly or slurp very much. Dogs that can bark sharply also cause discomfort. All this is due to unwillingness to experience stress. Such symptoms can be of varying intensity (from sufficiently tolerable to too severe). Some are even afraid to go crazy or go deaf. And, of course, any such individual is urgently trying to leave the place of discomfort and head to where he can calm down.

Symptoms and causes

Phonophobia can get sick as a result of a long nervous strain, severe stress or a sudden fright. Moreover, almost always one reason stems from another. This is also facilitated by concomitant mental disorders: neurasthenia, VVD, psychasthenia. The latter refers to the category of anxiety-phobic disorders.

This disease can affect people who exhibit suspicious behavior, imbalance, a tendency to exaggerate, a tendency to underestimate self-esteem, and imbalance.

All these disorders sooner or later can lead to various phobias, including the fear of loud sounds.

It is very difficult for phonophobes to adapt to the environment due to the fact that they are afraid to go out, walk in the fresh air, chat with friends, fly on airplanes. Many professions related to the technique that makes unpleasant and loud sounds become inaccessible to them. All this leads to a deterioration in the quality of life. It turns out that the sick choose self-isolation instead of a full life. Over time, it is precisely because of this that their condition begins to deteriorate sharply.

With a small manifestation of the irritant, phonophobes begin to have bouts of fear, which turn into a panic. They want to close their ears, hide away from everyone in the farthest room.

There are frequent cases when people, having heard an unpleasant noise, begin to scream themselves, and this makes them worse. The next stage is fear again, and it is fear for one's health and life. Then you can see the following symptoms: headache after another panic attack, tachycardia, lack of air, tremor of the extremities, dizziness, muscle cramps, severe sweating, severe nausea, or even vomiting.

It must be remembered that people suffering from such a disease immediately begin to calm down as soon as the harsh sound disappears. Their physical and moral condition are returning to normal.

Some patients “add” even more fears to their unpleasant circumstances. These fears are in the patient’s fear that relatives and friends will learn about this delicate problem of his. Naturally, one should not let the development of such a dangerous ailment go on its own. Self-treatment or getting rid of phobias can lead to dependence on various antidepressants, alcohol, or even drugs.

Causes of fear of music and champing

Many of us are prone to intolerance to any unpleasant sounds.This kind of rejection of the world does not belong to the category of serious diseases, and only a small part of people can suffer due to the fact that misophonia is capable of launching the so-called trigger, which will lead to negative consequences.

No wonder Dr. P. Yastrebov introduced the term modern medicine should not turn a blind eye to these problems. People suffering from misophobia cannot eat at the same table with loved ones - this negatively affects relationships within the family.

If you turn to specialists, they will be able to help get rid of this disease. For this, various forms of sound therapy are used.

Research on this disease is ongoing, and the search for ways to get rid of misophonia is also ongoing.

Some individuals may fear the sound of music. Acousticophobia can scare not only the sound itself, but also the ability to hear it. Therefore, such people do not attend music concerts, sports grounds. Sound amplifiers (speakers, microphones) cause a panic attack in them. As a result, the sufferer searches for such places of stay where he will not hear a single note from the song. The behavior becomes strange, and from this dependence a person falls into depression, which only exacerbates the situation.

Meditation Healing

This method is aimed at eliminating psychosomatic causes. With it, everyone can find a way to bring their condition back to normal.

To get rid of phonophobia you need:

  • to free your consciousness from extraneous thoughts - only YOU and the desire to be healed;
  • conduct classes daily, preferably at the same time;
  • the room where you are should be clean, bright and well ventilated;
  • the posture should be comfortable and comfortable for your limbs;
  • keep your breathing normal - this will make it easier for you to disengage.

But you need to remember that without the help of doctors in severe cases can not do. Meditation should only help traditional medicine, but not completely replace it.

So, what you need to know in order to conduct a session correctly.

  • First you need to sit back and close your eyes. The back should be perfectly flat.
  • Then start breathing properly: deep breath and exhale. Breathe this way until you completely relax.
  • Thoughts are your tool. So imagine how you put your hand on your heart.
  • Speak the word "there" when you inhale and the word "from there" when you exhale.
  • Remove unnecessary thoughts from the subconscious, and if it doesn’t work, then say: "These are empty thoughts, and they will soon dissolve into nothingness."

These actions need to be carried out to the full sensation that meditation must be completed. In conclusion, be sure to exhale through your mouth, then you can open your eyes.

In order for you to try the method of meditation, you need to know the following.

  • There is a big difference between healing and healing. If you eliminate the symptoms, they may disappear for a while. To heal means to completely get rid of the disease. To do this, you need to work on yourself a lot and for a long time, make considerable efforts to curb laziness and licentiousness.
  • Remember that mental illness gradually turns into physical. Heal the soul and work to restrain negative emotions and process them into positive ones. Yes, it is difficult, but health and peace of mind need to be earned.
  • The purpose of meditation should be aimed at eliminating negative attitudes, beliefs and phobias.
  • Do not rely on cure pills. To completely get rid of the disease, you must believe in the power of your own subconscious.
  • Remember that your thoughts are reflected in reality. Thoughts are material, so as you will think, so soon it will turn out.
It is necessary to agree with your own "I", to achieve harmony between your body and soul. And then you can not think about diseases and suffering against a background of various phobias, including phonophobia.
