Hi my name is Aaron (im not deaf) and I have an odd question

I have a rare condition called misophonia which means the "hatred of sound," coming from how the brain processes sound in the nervous system

All my life there have been tons of sounds which have caused me physical pain to hear, mostly eating sounds, but also whistling and the way people say certain words, etc...

im wondering if deaf people can experience a similar phenomenon, maybe not with sound, but maybe there are ways people express themselves in sign language that can really annoy you, maybe its a certain way they move their hands or an expression on their face that can drive you up the wall...

are there common ones that a lot of deaf people experience??

This topic fascinates me and sorry for my ignorance, but im just wondering...thanks
 
I am HOH and certain sounds definitely hurt my ears and make me feel like I will 'lose it' if it continues. Unfortunately, as my hearing loss has progressed, music is often not tolerated at all.
