Misophonia is actually a physical thing rather than psychological. Mostly, anyway. I have improved it a lot through exposure therapy, but it still hurts when I hear certain sounds. I can use the vacuum now! Mostly. Slow and steady.
Yeah, apparently evidence is suggesting that it’s an impairment of the central nervous system. Still not a ton of research done on it yet.
I didn’t know there were quieter hoods out there, though. I’ll look into that. I even have a quieter-than-normal garbage disposal. These little things can make a big difference.
Then there’s me: torn between wanting to use the hood to vent and my fear of the noise it makes (misophonia).
Get therapy for the noise fear and use the hood.

Was not aware.
There are quieter hoods out there - lots which are a lot quieter than a typical vacuum cleaner. Tough to choose if you’re a renter though.
