CARE for Misophonia: Conversations About Research for Everyone

CARE for Misophonia Day 2026 is almost here! 

Conversations About Research for Everyone (CARE) for Misophonia Day is an annual, open-access virtual symposium that brings together researchers and the public for engaging, informal discussions about the latest developments in misophonia research. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear directly from researchers about emerging findings, as well as advances in treatment approaches and coping strategies.

Twenty-five years ago, the term misophonia was introduced by Drs. Margaret and Pawel Jastreboff. To mark this milestone, the Jastreboffs will open our 4th annual CARE for Misophonia Day by sharing the story behind coining the term and the evolution of the field.

Event details:

  • Date: Friday, May 1, 2026
  • Time: 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM EST
  • Format: Virtual (drop in at any time)
  • Cost: Free and open to all

All sessions will be recorded and shared following the event.
