Have just started making more of BBB*RAVE! This first panel of page three has taken me ages, but I am getting more and more used to using Manga Studio now. =D

Selective Sound Sensitivity

緑川つばさ — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 16:25:04 +0000

I’ve recently become quite bothered by particular sounds such as eating, tapping and crinkling wrappers. Particularly eating, which is really starting to strain my interpersonal relationships.

What I think I have is Selective/Soft Sound Sensitivity Syndrome (aka SSSS or 4S), sometimes called misophonia.

So I thought I would share some links!

SoundSensitive.org – from where I am gathering bits and pieces of information to take to the audiology appointment I have in the beginning of February. =)
Hyperacusis Network (it also has a Message Board) – generally for hyperacusis, a closely related problem, but there are people with misophonia/4S there too.
Tinnitis & Hyperacusis Centre – a site by Dr Jonathan Hazell and colleagues, a UK-based expert on similar sound problems.

Some useful info

So as I said, I like to have a good rant about road-related matters.

I was having a good rant about this piece of news on Twitter (lines? lines? don’t we just need a lower speed limit?), when another user suggested some interesting theories to me. He works with RoSPA – Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents.

I have had a good look at the driving section of RoSPA’s website and would recommend it to anyone else interested in road safety. It’s a good thing to be interested in. :3
