This video explores the use of background sound as a practical strategy for reducing misophonia reactions. Audiologist Marsha Johnson developed an approach known as the Misophonia Management Protocol (MMP), which uses sound to help individuals lessen the impact of trigger noises. The video explains the core principles of the MMP—one of the most widely used management approaches for misophonia—and demonstrates how similar techniques can be implemented independently at home.
The video also discusses commonly used tools that support sound-based management strategies, including:
-
White noise apps, such as this one by TMSOFT: provide consistent background sound to help mask or soften trigger noises
-
Over-ear or sport-style headphones: comfortable, portable sound delivery in a variety of settings
These examples illustrate accessible ways to apply sound sculpting techniques outside of a clinical environment.
