Misophonia - How do I help my daughter deal with this?

I’ve had Misophonia for since I was 10 and am now 35. The sound of chewing and other random noises invokes this flight or fight response and causes irrational rage. It’s been so isolating and doesn’t make sense.

I don't know but it seems like misophonia is different from noise sensitivity (hyperacusis). I have hyperacusis but my daughter has misophonia. At times she would leave the room during meals. If she is trapped on a train next to someone eating chips I think it is very very difficult. My only misophonia issue is with whistling.
I just saw this piece about Melissa Gilbert getting diagnosed and treated at Duke. I was impressed. Duke handles most of my specialty needs, including Neurology.

I’ve had it to some degree for many years. It’s not all noise, but mainly noises from neighbors yards that bug me like incessantly barking dogs. That’s a biggie for me. Also, loud car mufflers, loud equipment, loud screaming kids inside stores, loud birds, and incessant, loud talkers.
