I suffer (quite literally) from Misophonia [0], and I can only hope someday we find a cure for it. It's a curse.
As a developer, I'm afraid the only thing I can do about it is to raise awareness.

You watch those DIY guides be region blocked to "everywhere but the USA" because the fines for even publishing the design of an unapproved medical device are massive.
Are they? Doesn't that have first amendment protection?
The US specialized in medical quackery for a hundred years, so there are direct restrictions on speech around claiming medical benefits. The free speech laws permit that, as IIRC societal welfare trumps your right to claim that (for example) mercury and cocaine soda will cure all ills.
EDIT: Commenters are right, you have to try to profit to be prosecuted. If you give away poison and call it a cure, as long as you have no benefit whatsoever, you're technically safe. Yippee.

#33So when can we get the device, or how can one be made?
You may find some cheap Chinese "body massage" vibrating devices with adjustable speed settings, probably in pink. You may not want to trust them with any intimate parts, but I've found that they're great at vibrating toner or flour down a paper funnel, so wouldn't be surprised if they also worked for this.

I'm sure we'll get DIY guides if this turns out to be legit. The concept is simple enough.

Just market it as DIY head sexual massage device?

#38I wrote this relatively recently in another comment. I think it applies here: I have tinnitus. I got it from going out too much. I wasn't the biggest party-hardy individual, but there were moments where I went out quite a bit. During that time I lived in Amsterdam and loved parties for: music, social experimentation and doing whatever. I wasn't too much into the drugs/alcohol thing. I think during my 'going out phase…
> I have tinnitus. It was 6 months of agony, then I started to ignore it. It wasn't a conscious decision, the ignoring happened automatically. I only have the high pitched ringing in my ears when it's quiet. It literally feels like a curse though, I can't hear silence.
My tinnitus generally doesn't bother me on a psychological level, so I feel fairly lucky in that regard. I just wish I didn't have it all the time and I end up drowning it out with music. I'd kill to be able to experience actual silence again when I'm trying to sleep or just want to sit around and relax.

I too suffer from this, and I think it must be related to my ADD, because I think most people can filter these noises out. To the point that they won’t become enraged by something their brain ignores as noise. Who wouldn’t become enraged if their brain was hijacked by the most bullshit, meaningless sounds?
