Anxiety and depression among Canadian undergraduates with decreased sound tolerance
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Decreased sound tolerance (DST) is an encompassing term for conditions marked by a reduced tolerance to everyday sounds. Misophonia, sensitivity to specific trigger sounds which cue aversive responses, is one DST subtype. Hyperacusis, another DST subtype, occurs when people are irritated by general sounds that are not bothersome to others. Research suggests that those with DST face heightened mental health challenges. Psychometrically validated measures aligned with the recent misophonia consensus definition have not assessed the relationship between misophonia and mental health. There is also a complete dearth of DST-mental health research in Canadian universities. Here, 2095 Canadian undergraduate students completed DST and mental health questionnaires. We explored the relationship between anxiety and depression and DST. We found strong, positive correlations between DST symptoms and mental health difficulties. These findings highlight DST's detrimental effects and the need for future research on strategies for managing and treating DST in post-secondary institutions.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
