Otorrinos2do's Blog provides a short commentary on misophonia and phonophobia, published on 21 November 2010 at http://otorrinos2do.wordpress.com.
Points out that the term misophonia was coined to convey many of the same sentiments as phonophobia, but without the automatic connotation of phobia. This is useful as, in some jurisdictions, it is unlawful to treat a phobia unless licensed as a psychologist or psychiatrist.
Also comments that misophonia has yet to enter widespread usage and is not yet a recognized term in healthcare databases such as Medline.
The phonophobia entry highlights the fact that the term is widely used in neurology in association with migraine. One study showed that as many as half of all migraine attacks are accompanied by increased sound sensitivity. Observes that, in audiology at least, phonophobia implies a reaction that has specific emotional associations.

Excerpt from page 45: “Phonophobia, fear of sounds, is an extreme and very disabling variant of hyperacusis, and is often present together with psychiatric conditions. Misophonia is intolerance to specific sounds. Very little is known about neurophysiological models causing sound intolerance. Dysfunction of the efferent systems (one is the MOC-system) has been proposed, as well as abnormal gate control. Autophonia is intolerance to the subject’s own voice.
