Misophonia is a chronic condition that describes aversion to specific auditory stimuli. Misophonia is characterized by physiological responsivity and negative emotional reactivity. Specific sounds, commonly referred to as “triggers,” are often commonplace and sometimes repetitive. They include chewing, coughing, slurping, keyboard tapping, and pen clicking. Common emotional responses include rage, disgust, anxiety, and panic while physical responses include muscle constriction and increased heart rate. This literature review identifies research priorities, limitations, and new directions, examining the implications of misophonia for the social work profession. Misophonia is largely absent from the social work literature. However, the profession is uniquely equipped to understand, screen for, and effectively treat misophonia in direct practice or within interprofessional treatment teams. By conceptualizing misophonia as idiosyncratic and contextual, social workers would enhance the existing body of research by applying an ecological perspective which captures the interaction of individuals and environments in producing human experience. Such an approach would assist clients and clinicians in developing treatment plans that consider the roles of social and physical environments in the development and course of misophonia. A discussion of current limitations within the misophonia literature further emphasizes the need for new perspectives.

恐音症：文献综述及其对社会工作专业的影响

恐声症是一种慢性疾病，描述了对特定听觉刺激的厌恶。恐声症的特点是生理反应性和负面情绪反应性。特定的声音（通常称为“触发器”）通常很常见，有时甚至是重复的。它们包括咀嚼、咳嗽、吸食、敲键盘和敲笔。常见的情绪反应包括愤怒、厌恶、焦虑和恐慌，而身体反应包括肌肉收缩和心率加快。这篇文献综述确定了研究重点、局限性和新方向，探讨了恐声症对社会工作专业的影响。社会工作文献中基本上没有恐音症。然而，该专业具有独特的能力，可以在直接实践中或在跨专业治疗团队中理解、筛查和有效治疗恐音症。通过将恐音症概念化为特殊的和情境性的，社会工作者将通过应用生态视角来增强现有的研究体系，捕捉个体与环境在产生人类经验时的相互作用。这种方法将帮助客户和临床医生制定治疗计划，考虑社会和物理环境在恐音症发展和病程中的作用。对恐音症文献当前局限性的讨论进一步强调了对新视角的需要。
