Listening to abrasive music, like noise music, like clattering and grinding with no rhythm has somewhat helped with my irritation with noise. But it only lasted as long as I was listening consistently. Try Nurse With Wound. It’s not chewing noises, but I found myself caring less about all annoying noise
r/misophonia is a thing. Search chewing in the sub for other threads.
For me, it’s the sound of people chewing ice and I do anxiety reducer breathing techniques. Thankfully eating ice is a rate occurance and my husband and son learn not to do it around me. Hopefully you find your solution.
Try earplugs. I like Loop.
