| Curly enjoying the music, in 'Idle Roomers, Part 2' |
This is a video clip that may serve to illustrate the misophonia response. Misophonia basically means intense dislike of sounds. Earlier, we posted a video clip where a person gets intensely affected by someone eating toasted chips in a lunchroom.
The Setup: in this video clip a wolf-man appears in the video. He is a wolf-man locked in a cage. Moments earlier, his owner explains that the wolf-man is tame -- until he hears music. When he hears music he goes crazy.
Notice that Curly enjoys the music. He calls it a "boogie-woogie box". But the wolf-man, in the same room with the music, becomes enraged by it. So much so, that the Wolf-man somehow breaks out of his locked jail cell box and proceeds to get rid of the music the only way he knows how.
When The Music is In-Your-Face

| Curly starts playing his trombone -- but how will the Wolf-man react? |
Later, in this clip, the wolf-man shows his alarming emotional reaction when he hears Curly playing. He gets very upset, as you can see here.
The video clip is from The Three Stooges' short film, "Idle Roomers, Part 2". Moe, Larry, and Curly play a team of bellboys in a motel. The Three Stooges, of course, were a comic team who performed in many short (20-minute) video clips during World War II in the 1940s.
From what we understand from Dr. Marsha Johnson, AuD at the Oregon Tinnitus and Hyperacusis Treatment Center in Portland, Oregon -- misophonia differs from hyperacusis in that misophonia involves more of a heightened reaction -- more of an emotional response. We have learned related terms from Dr. Marsha Johnson, AuD in Oregon, and from Drs. Pawel Jastreboff and Margaret Jastreboff from Emory University in Georgia, and from Dr. Jonathan Hazel, FRCS. Drs. Jastreboff pioneered the use of TRT (Tinnitus Retraining Therapy) for tinnitus (a ringing in the ears) and also for hyperacusis (sound sensitivity).
Thanks to SafeShare.TV for allowing us to distribute the video as a short clip.
