Syrup of ipecac is an important component in the treatment of acute toxic ingestion. The American Academy of Pediatrics1 recommends that syrup of ipecac be kept in the household to be used for the conscious patient in the treatment of toxic ingestion when advised by a physician. Syrup of ipecac is not without toxicity, however, and this increased availability opens the door to poisoning by ipecac itself. Toxicity has been observed in adults ranging from direct noxious effects on the gastrointestinal system2-4 to cardiomyopathy,2,5 generalized myopathy,6,7 and fatalities secondary to dehydration or electrolytic distubrances.8 Little is known about the signs and symptoms of ipecac toxicity in infants and children.

Purpose Misophonia is a sound tolerance disorder condition in certain sounds that trigger intense emotional or physiological responses. While some persons may experience misophonia, a few patients suffer from misophonia. However, there is a dearth of literature on audiological assessment and management of persons with misophonia. The purpose of this report is to discuss the assessment of misophonia and highlight the management option that helped a patient with misophonia. Method A case study of a 26-year-old woman with the complaint of decreased tolerance to specific sounds affecting quality of life is reported. Audiological assessment differentiated misophonia from hyperacusis. Management included retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy based on the principles described by P. J. Jastreboff and Jastreboff (2014). A misophonia questionnaire was administered at regular intervals to monitor the effectiveness of therapy. Results A detailed case history and audiological evaluations including pure-tone audiogram and Johnson Hyperacusis Index revealed the presence of misophonia. The patient benefitted from intervention, and the scores of the misophonia questionnaire indicated a decrease in the severity of the problem. Conclusions It is important to differentially diagnose misophonia and hyperacusis in persons with sound tolerance disorders. Retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy can help patients who suffer from misophonia.
