We are building AI-powered sound-filtering technology for earbuds and hearing devices that reduces trigger sounds without blocking speech or important sounds around you.
Designed for people seeking more control over everyday trigger sounds, including chewing, breathing, tapping, coughing, and keyboard sounds.

Misophonia is more than dislike of sound. For many people, specific repetitive sounds in classrooms, offices, libraries, family meals, public transport, and shared rooms can trigger strong emotional and physical responses. This research starts from that lived experience.
Chewing and utensil sounds can make eating with others stressful.
Tapping, typing, coughing, or breathing can break concentration.
People leave rooms, wear earplugs, or avoid situations entirely.
People with misophonia often use earplugs, noise-cancelling headphones, white noise, or leaving the situation. These strategies can help, but they frequently block speech too, increase social isolation, or are impractical in certain settings. This study asks whether a more targeted approach is possible.
This research explores an AI-powered sound-filtering approach for earbuds and hearing-aid-style devices. The goal is to give you control: choose which trigger sounds to reduce, how strongly they are filtered, and whether to preserve speech and important sounds — or switch to stronger sound blocking when you need more quiet.
You decide what to reduce, what to keep, and how much filtering to apply.
Select the sounds that affect you most — for example chewing, coughing, dog barking, whistling, or keyboards.
Decide how strongly each sound is reduced, from a light touch to much stronger filtering.
Preserve speech and important sounds around you, or switch to stronger sound blocking when you want more quiet.
This is not a medical device, treatment, or diagnosis tool. Findings will inform future research and design.
This optional $1 helps show that you would seriously consider trying the solution. It supports the research by giving me a clearer signal of interest. You'll receive a Stripe receipt, and I'll personally follow up about updates and possible testing opportunities.
We are recruiting people who experience misophonia to help shape the research direction. Join the participant list for updates, study invitations, and opportunities to test early prototypes.
