Jastreboff 2023 on the difference between Misophonia and hyperacusis

The major diff between Misophonia and hyperacusis is that in hyperacusis symptoms are the same for any stim, it is dependent on volume. in contrast, Misophonia is mainly about the stim source and identification, and loudness if secondary if relevant at all.. for instance, a Misophonic may react strongly to a trigger but fail to react to another, louder sound.
