This is a great, deep and sad telling drawing, very well depicted. I first thought this was tinitus which my dad has.

the weird thing is, he also needs hearing aids, and when he wears those regluarly it's all good beause of distracting normal other sounds, but he has to take them out in bed cause they just make the noise louder in his head and because of the silence.. 

But my older sister actually has Misophonia, she found out later, she would always get very mad and frustrated with any eating sounds and or repetitive sounds, it drove her crazy.. Eating potato chips with her in the house is hell.. LIke how do you eat it silently and without the crunch.. You had to let them get wet and sloppy in your mouth so they wouldent make a sound if you ate them.. Horrible D: xD

Thank you for your comment on this, I really appreciate it
Yeah, it is hard to be around people with misophonia, and can be very difficult for people to understand. I have severe misophonia, and I’ve often heard "just block out the sounds" from people I’ve told about it, but that is literally impossible. Every day there is a situation where my misophonia kicks in, and if I can’t avoid it or get away from the source of the sounds it results in extreme anger which can linger for hours.
I’ve had it as early as I can remember, and when I was a child I would get violent outbursts seemingly out of nowhere to others if I let the anger just build up.
The thing is that I always feel like an asshole when I let someone know that for example their eating sounds bother me, and then I try to explain why, but of course it is hard for most people to understand.
Luckily my girlfriend is very understanding and considerate when it comes to my misophonia so I feel lucky to have someone that understands this weird issue

No problem! I apologise for the late reply!

I didn't know you had the condition yourself, it must be very frustrating and alienating too somethimes I presume, I've also noticed that anger is usually the emotions that show the hardest, but it's because they frustrate you so much that you can't do anything about them yourself often times, cause others make the noise. D:

It's hard for others to understand also, but since we now know it's a real thing, people understand better, than just I can't handle those sounds I guess.

You're lucky with you girlfriend! She's very kind to be so considerate :>
