NCT ID NCT07527780

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at how common hyperacusis (sensitivity to everyday sounds) and misophonia (strong negative reactions to specific sounds) are among teachers, and whether these conditions add to their work stress. Researchers will survey 500 teachers in Turkey to measure these sensitivities and their link to occupational well-being. The goal is to better understand these challenges and inform ways to improve working conditions for educators.
