I'm honored to speak with Steve and Diane Miller, the incredible couple behind the Misophonia Research Fund. When their daughter Rachel started being triggered by their voices and chewing about nine years ago, they didn't just try to cope, they redirected their entire family foundation to fund misophonia research. They've basically built the field from the ground up, now funding dozens of researchers worldwide working on everything from brain imaging to AI sound filtering. We talk about what it's really like accelerating medical research, their hopes for bringing young scientists into the field, why open data sharing matters so much, and how simply providing hope can be transformative for our community. These two have genuinely changed the trajectory of misophonia research, and it was such an honor to hear their story and vision for the future.
