金屬劃過玻璃的聲音，汽車緊急剎車的聲音，隔壁裝修的電鉆聲......生活中總有一些聲音讓我們無法忍受，一聽到就會做出一些過激反應。可能從某種程度上說，我們都患有“恐音癥”。

Do nails on a chalkboard make you cringe? Imagine if a sound could make you panic or fly into a rage.
指甲劃過黑板的聲音是否讓你難以忍受？或許有種聲音會讓你驚恐或者勃然大怒。

This is the case with misophonia -- a strong dislike or hatred of specific sounds.
這種情況就叫“恐音癥”，也就是對于某種特定聲音強烈的憎惡感。

Misophonia, also known as selective sound sensitivity syndrome, starts with a trigger. It could be an oral sound like whistle, or an annoying sound made by people like scratching a chalkboard with nails.
恐音癥，也叫選擇性聲音敏感綜合征，其實都是有個觸發點的。這個觸發點可能是某種口頭發出的聲音，比如，口哨聲；也可能是人們制造出來的某種惱人的聲音，比如用指甲劃過黑板的聲音。

When a person with misophonia is exposed to a sound in their trigger set, it results in an immediate negative emotional response. This response can range from moderate discomfort to acute annoyance or go all the way up to full-fledged rage and panic. While experiencing a trigger event, a person may become agitated, defensive or offensive, distance themselves from the trigger or possibly act out and express anger or rage at the source of the offending sound.
當患有恐音癥的人聽到那種讓他們憎惡的聲音時，會立即出現負面的情緒反應。這種負面情緒可能是一般的不適感，也可能是極度的焦躁，或者勃然大怒、極度恐慌。遇到觸發他們恐音癥的聲音時，這些人可能會對這個聲音來源表現出憤怒、防范、攻擊或者疏遠的舉動。
