Linking misophonia and tinnitus: Common and divergent neurobiological mechanisms

Key Points

• Misophonia and tinnitus share overlapping neurobiological mechanisms related to auditory processing.
• Evidence from neuroimaging studies indicates similar brain activation patterns in both conditions.
• Analysis of auditory stimuli reveals distinct emotional responses associated with misophonia and tinnitus.
• Understanding these mechanisms highlights the need for targeted interventions addressing both conditions.
