IN MEMORY OF
Michelle Del Valle
July 9, 2006 - November 5, 2023
Michelle Del Valle passed away from suicide at the age of 17 from dealing with misophonia since she was 13 years old. We honor her memory by marking World Misophonia Awareness Day on her birthday, July 9th.
Michelle’s story is a sobering reminder of the overwhelming impact that misophonia can have on a person every day and how much we all must step up to raise awareness in society—especially with medical professionals and educators.
