Our next Q&A is all about Misophonia, a condition where a person experiences a decreased tolerance for certain sounds. To help us understand more about Misophonia, I have asked Doctor of Audiology Rae Stout to join me!
Dr. Stout is an Autistic Audiologist that has taken a particular interest in using low gain hearing aids to help children not only cope with Misophonia but to hopefully increase their tolerance for certain sounds.
Dr. Stout speaks to the fact that exposure therapy is rarely successful, but tools like low gain hearing aids that give a child control over their auditory environment can be helpful in decreasing the severity of the child's experience with Misophonia!
I always say that if you want to find a truly exceptional professional in any field that you should look for an Autistic person with a special interest in that field, and Dr. Rea Stout does not disappoint!!
Join me today as I talk with Dr. Rae Stout about the fascinating world of sound!!
