I'll share methods that worked for me personally. Feel free to ask me any questions, because I'm going to try to keep this brief (Edit: I failed), but am happy to expand on it if you're interested.

On an abstract level, I learned about C-PTSD and coping with it. This book helped tons. Basically I learned to identify triggers early and remind myself that, although my body was telling me I was in danger with a fight or flight reaction, I was in no actual danger and I was completely in control of my surroundings.

(Full Disclosure - I learned a lot of my triggers came from childhood experiences of a narcissistic parent intentionally triggering me at the dinner table and refusing me the ability to leave. So YMMV with the book.)

I leveraged the concept of neuroplasticity to re-wire my brain to respond to trigger noises as rewards instead of dread.

I'll give you the specific example of someone eating chips. It had gotten so bad for me that the rustling of the bag would trigger me because I knew what was coming. Then, just the sound of the pantry door would trigger me. I'd get stuck in this feedback loop of dreading what was coming, anticipating it, and then becoming hyper aware of it, so by the time it happened the sound was CONSUMING.

So I decided to associate that awful trigger with something positive. Initially I'd hear the chip bag and recognize I was triggered. Then I made the choice to say "Fuck Yeah, I love Chips. Give me some fucking chips!" So I'd have a snack as well.

When that started working, I expanded on it. If I was at work and someone started eating an apple, I'd give myself a break to do something I wanted to do. Go for a little walk. Browse reddit for a couple minutes. Look at some tits on gonewild. Whatever. The point was I started to associate trigger noises with rewards instead of punishment.

Once I learned how to break myself out of those thought loops, they started to get easier and easier to break out of. I got better at recognize being triggered early and turning the event into something positive before it got out of control.

I do admit, at first it was a little fake it till you make it, but eventually it started working. I realized that I was fighting it so hard I wouldn't remove myself form a triggering circumstance until I was too far gone, so I started doing it earlier and earlier and more and more gracefully. I started rewarding myself for awareness instead of punishing myself for being triggered in the first place. I became much more gentle with myself in general.

For example, If i'm in a meeting and someone brings in lunch, I'll excuse myself to the restroom the second I get anxious, go out and remind myself that I'm in control of this, and come back when I feel better. Eventually, just knowing I can leave if I want to became enough to keep me in shape.

For the first time in two decades, I can go to movies again with my wife, I can ride in a car with someone popping on gum, and I can sit at a dinner table without music on. It's been amazing.

Good luck guys, you can do it too!

My friend has a noise maker marketed for babies and children. It is awesome. My friends and I are sprawled all over Texas, so we meet up in different cities sometimes and stay in hotels, and I always dreaded sharing a room because any little noise bugs me when I sleep so I'd just shell out the money for my own room. Now that she has this thing, I always stay with her. It's got settings for beach, thunderstorm, fan, some other shit...we always go with thunderstorm. I can sleep peacefully in a room with her and her now 4 y/o (and they both make weird noises in their sleep) because of that machine.

I know it's a lot of backstory! But I messaged her and will hopefully hear back in the morning about the make and model of the machine so I can let you know. I think it's at least worth you looking into!

Personally, I have an AC unit at home that's in the window right above my spot in bed that I keep the fan blowing on at all times; in my last apt I kept the vent fan in my connected bathroom on all the time, too. If I ever have to move again and neither of these things are viable options, I WILL go buy one of those noise makers.

Anyway! I promise I'll get back to you on the machine she uses ;)

*I'm back. It's this thing!

And I now realize you asked about apps and I linked you to a $100 machine. Sorry haha. BUT! Once again, it's awesome imo

I'm in my early thirties. My misophonia is the defining factor in my relationship with my Dad and has been since I was a young teenager. I definitely get how awful it can be.

I can offer a few suggestions. Try to always have background music at mealtimes. Just put on a CD or something. I can say for myself it buffers the intensity of my misophonia reactions a bit because at least I have something else to focus on. I just tell my parents I like to have music on at mealtimes and kept putting some on, so now they just accept it as a habit when I am around.

make friends with earplugs and earbuds and always have both with you. Invest in some good noise cancelling earbuds. Get into wearing hoodies as well. I will often put in at least one earplug to dull the sound and wear my hood up so people can't tell I'm wearing an earplug. I know that probably sounds super weird and anti-social but if it's that or deal with misophonia noises I'll put my hood up.

When you have to eat around them rest your head on the hand you aren't using to eat with and subtly plug one hear. At least you only hear half the noise that way. It requires having that elbow on the table so you can elevate that hand next to your ear without it looking totally awkward, but your in your early twenties now so the time for parents being able to tell you how to eat has passed.

best thing is probably to try and get her to take misophonia seriously as a condition. I found a documentary about misophonia at http://www.quietpleasefilm.com/ , I haven't watched it yet so I can't speak to it's quality but just the fact that someone produced a documentary gives a little weight and legitimacy to misophonia as a condition I think. I'm going to try watching it with my family as see if they will take me more seriously.

There are a couple books about misophonia

Okay so suddenly I can't find it on the Walmart website ... maybe they've discontinued the product or maybe it's gone through another brand name change (used to be called Massey, the last 2 I bought were the same exact thing under the Mainstays label) and I don't recognize it, but this is the one: https://www.amazon.com/MAINSTAYS-inch-High-Velocity-Fan/dp/B0039W2OEG. If you can order something similar to that, or find something that looks like that in-store, it has a good chance of being the one I get. :)

https://www.amazon.com/Radians-Custom-Molded-Earplugs-Blue/dp/B003A28OW6/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1541679083&sr=8-5&keywords=ear+plugs+custom+molded

​

These work great for me. Very isolating and comfortable enough to wear all night.

I suggest you watch some vids on youtube about molding them so you don't waste a pair like I did. But once I got them right they are perfect.

I’m in Canada and the one I got is called: Yostyle Sleep White Noise Machine Update Version 26 Natural Sounds Therapy for Baby, Adult, Office, Relaxation and Travel, Auto-Off Timer, Sound Conditioner
Link:
Yostyle white sleep noise machine

Is what I got, but tbh I can hear a looping sound on some of them but this would be great because it has a larger variety of white noises and other nature sounds and I kind of wish I’d ordered this one instead:

MOICO

And a final one worth looking at:

Housbay

I'm a strong advocate of soft-silicone earplugs like this

Not sure where you are based but Boots have some own-brand ones which are a pale pink colour.

I tend to tear each plug in half in to 2 smaller pieces, as they're a better fit for my ears that way and are more discreet.

I have a big fan in my room that I use at night. I used to only use it during the summer because it was hot, but now I use it everyday. I just don't point near myself.

If you get a a decent one, it should be a nice source of whitenoise. It's just constant ... noise. I know you said your own fan makes a ticking noise, but if you get a decent one, it shouldn't do that. Like one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Lasko-3520-Cyclone-Pivoting-Floor/dp/B000VZRUIO/ref=sr_1_32?ie=UTF8&qid=1420044092&sr=8-32&keywords=lasko+cooling+fan+3+speed

I have that one and it's been running for 8+ hours a day for the past three years and it still works great. It's loud enough to block out nearby noises but quiet enough to be unnoticeable unless you purposely listen for it.

u/thedeepdark · 2 pointsr/misophonia

Hi!

This is the one I've been using.

Best of luck!

u/Deathnerd · 2 pointsr/misophonia

I use just a standard Lasko box fan in my current room. Back when I was relegated to a desk fan, the black Honeywell fans are awesome machines that won't break the bank.

The bose ones I have are discontinued now but they make a newer model. They are also expensive, about £200 UK but I tried a few different types in the stores and they had the most effective Noise Cancelling
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bose-QuietComfort-Cancelling-Discontinued-manufacturer-Black/dp/B00D429Y12

The Earmuffs are Peltor 3M Optime III £18
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000VDX18E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I also use Leight laser light foam earplugs which are cheap and effective and handy if you have small ear canals

u/sunsetr33 · 3 pointsr/misophonia

I've already got a pack of this at home, it's pretty good too.

Time to see how the coffee shop's hot cocoa is, I guess.

u/goldenscales · 2 pointsr/misophonia

Best ear plugs: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001F5VDVE/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=1944687662&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B001J4HB1C&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1QR4KKF0CWEJRA2BC7YG

Those are the only ones that really work for me...I made the mistake of buying a different brand and it's just not working, so I have to hurry up and buy more of the Flents purple magical ones.

u/JohnSherlockHolmes · 2 pointsr/misophonia

SureFire EP3 Sonic Defenders filtered Earplugs, double flanged design, reusable, Clear, Medium https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0010HFAKC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_EBe5Cb5AGF0V1

Those say EP3, but they are the EP2 design with only two major diameters on the canal plug.

u/brain_implants · 2 pointsr/misophonia

I got these a few weeks ago based on a recommendation from a blog.

I'd also been using Mack's earplugs for a few years, but they would often fall out or cause pain due to the suction they create. It took me a few days to adjust to the earmuffs, but now I don't think I could sleep without them!

u/helterkelsers · 3 pointsr/misophonia

I've been using these the past few days: Moldex Rockets Reusable UnCorded Earplugs - 2 Pair https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0024X13CK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_m3fiAb3HVD19A


They work really well, but I'm afraid they're going to damage my ears since they get inserted. I've used the silicon ones before, I'll have to buy those again.
