Interventions
Psychoacoustic test
Natural sounds will be presented at different decibels (dB), and the subject will be asked to rate the pleasantness/unpleasantness of the sound heard on a visual analogue scale, as well as the loudness (subjective intensity) of the sound heard.
semi-structured interviews
interview, designed under the supervision of a psychologist and using the methodology of micro-phenomenological interviews the aim of these interviews is to gain access to the participants' experiences, as they describe them in the first person, during misophonic episodes
Exposure to unpleasant sounds
Home exposure is a practice whereby participants voluntarily subject themselves to SMs in a controlled environment. Participants will be asked to complete two tasks: firstly, they will have to expose themselves to all 10 sounds at least twice a week; secondly, they will have to record the annoyance felt for each sound and the subjective loudness (loudness) of each SM using VAS.
