A Study on the Impact of Sound Sensitivity on Youth and Families - Baylor College of Medicine (Houston, TX)
Note: This study is open to families located anywhere in the U.S., not just in TX.
Is your child between the age of 5 and 20? Does your child get very upset when hearing certain normal, everyday sounds, like chewing, breathing, tapping, or other noises? If so, you may be eligible to participate in a study looking at misophonia, or severe sound sensitivity, among children, teenagers, and young adults aged 5-20. Eligible participants will complete a 90-minute visit with an interview and online questionnaires. They will then will be sent monthly 5-10 minute surveys to fill out for six months. Participants are asked to complete a 30-to-60-minute online questionnaire again 6 months after the start of the study.
