Important Update
The Misophonia Association would like to update you on the Convention being planned for October 2020. We have the convention dates and have contracted with the Embassy Suites Philadelphia Airport. We’ve also begun to plan the programming and have contacted several potential speakers. At the same time, we are carefully watching the COVID-19 situation. As much as we want to bring this amazing community together to share, learn, and grow, health and safety are paramount. We are actively considering all options for the October convention. As we continue to monitor the situation closely, we’ll keep you updated. Thank you.

Donate
Please join us in our steady and mindful journey towards unbiased knowledge, effective treatment, and a potential cure for misophonia. The Misophonia Association is funded with volunteer effort and donated time and funds. With your continued kind donations and support of events, we have begun to offer small pilot study style grants. These starter grants are aimed at funding smaller worthy projects that add to the body of work available in the world of peer-reviewed journalism.
