- og 22 uden i et andet hold. - and 22 without in another team.

De to hold blev placeret i en MRI-scanner - The two teams were placed in an MRI scanner.

Den ene kategori var neutrale lyde. One category was neutral sounds.

Den anden kategori var ubehagelige lyde. The second category was unpleasant noises.

Den sidste kategori var triggerlyde: Fx en, der smasker. The last category was trigger sounds: For example, someone smacking their lips.

De to hold reagerede ens på neutrale og ubehagelige lyde. The two teams reacted similarly to neutral and unpleasant sounds.

Misofoni passer ikke på symptomerne på de diagnoser. Misophonia does not fit the symptoms of those diagnoses.

Og ifølge forskerne burde det være en selvstændig lidelse. And according to researchers, it should be a disorder in its own right.

Der findes ikke en kur. There is no cure.

Ved svære tilfælde kan psykoterapi eller medicinsk symptombehandling hjælpe. In severe cases, psychotherapy or medical symptom management can help.

Dem med misofoni ved godt, at deres reaktion er socialt uacceptabel. Those with misophonia know that their reaction is socially unacceptable.
