Summary

Positive video contexts significantly reduce negative reactions to misophonia trigger sounds. This effect was observed in nearly all participants, regardless of misophonia severity, highlighting the impact of visual stimuli on auditory distress.

Background:

Misophonia is characterized by intense negative reactions to specific sounds, often orofacial.
Recent research indicates high-level, contextual, and multisensory factors influence misophonia.
Positive attributable video sources (PAVS) have previously attenuated negative reactions to aversive sounds in neurotypicals.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess if the attenuating effect of PAVS generalizes to misophonic triggers.
To develop and validate a Sound-Swapped Video (SSV) database for misophonia research.
To investigate the modulation of misophonic responses by visual contexts.

Main Methods:

Creation of a Sound-Swapped Video (SSV) database with original video sources (OVS) and PAVS.
Participant ratings of PAVS for audiovisual match and pleasantness (Study 2).
Evaluation of trigger sound unpleasantness when paired with PAVS versus OVS in a larger participant group (Study 3), followed by the Misophonia Questionnaire (MQ).

Main Results:

PAVS videos significantly reduced the reported unpleasantness of trigger sounds compared to OVS.
This attenuating effect was observed in 99% of participants, irrespective of their MQ scores.
A moderate positive correlation was found between the PAVS-OVS difference and misophonia severity.

Conclusions:

The SSV database is validated as a useful tool for studying misophonia modulation by visual contexts.
Positive visual stimuli can robustly attenuate negative reactions to misophonic trigger sounds.
The study provides a freely accessible database and methodology for future misophonia research.
