Misophonia and tinnitus can turn up in the same person, and they pull earplug use in opposite directions. Why the honest goal is quieter, not silent, and why the take-them-out rule counts twice.
Misophonia has no stand-alone code in DSM-5 or ICD-11, yet NHS services name it and a 2023 UK study found a significant burden in 18.4 % of adults. Here is where recognised support sits, from your GP to Oxford Health’s specialist service and UK support groups.
Tube carriages routinely pass 80 dB and the loudest sections peak above 100 dB. Here is how loud the commute really gets, whether your stop announcement stays audible with earplugs in, and when the plugs go in and come out.
