Studies Currently Enrolling Outside of Our Center

Nico Remmert, a researcher at Freie Universität Berlin, is working alongside teams from England and the US to develop an innovative misophonia computer test aimed to enhance our understanding and diagnosis of misophonia. They are searching for participants who fit the following description:

  • 18 years of age or older

  • Fluent in English
  • No known hearing abnormalities or conditions

Participants have the freedom to stop or decide whether to continue listening to any sound at any time. Please note that this requires access to a computer with a keyboard, headphones, and a quiet space. Smartphones cannot be used.
  • Duration: Approximately 55-60 minutes
  • Payment: Amazon e-giftcard of $50 or £50
