That’s really interesting, and if true would explain why ASMR is a total mystery to me. However I do have misophonia real bad. Any kind of mouth sounds, like eating close to my ear (or worse into a microphone) actually trigger a kind of instant hulk rage in my brain that I’ve had to learn to control. I can now keep it to “strong annoyance” but don’t catch me off guard on a bad day with that. Sometimes even professional podcasters (looking at you, Radiolab) eat food on mic and it makes me insane. They should know better. I’m locked out of a lot of more amateur podcasts because people don’t control their breathing or other mouth sounds well while they speak into amplification.
