January Jones Details Lifelong Sound Disorder

by

January Jones wants you to hear this.

Actress January Jones, known for her role in Mad Men, recently shared that she’s lived with misophonia her entire life. The Cleveland Clinic defines misophonia as a condition where certain sounds or sensory experiences trigger negative reactions and a low tolerance.

I’ve dealt with something called misophonia my entire life, and honestly, it’s been getting harder and harder to cope with over the years. I recently shared about it on Instagram because it’s a real struggle for me.

The 47-year-old woman also mentioned her brother-in-law, noting his constant snacking on chips, to illustrate the issue she was discussing.

She explained that she’s spoken to him repeatedly about his behavior, but he continues to eat chips around her as part of a running joke, seemingly to get a reaction. She feels this is not only insensitive to her concerns, but also potentially harmful to him.

The actress from X-Men: First Class shared that she was recently stuck with her brother-in-law and couldn’t avoid listening to his noisy chewing.

I didn’t film this video in a prison today,” she explained. “I’ve thought about how to make that happen a lot, but I haven’t done it yet.”

Despite throwing him under the bus, January clarified that she does indeed love him.

She said he’s a genuinely good person, and today is his birthday, so she wished him a happy birthday and hoped he was enjoying lots of chips.

She posted a photo from the event with Xander, covering his face with a blue heart, and mentioned they were both supporting the campaign to protect sharks and ocean health.

January spoke openly about her challenges with misophonia, but here’s a look at other celebrities who have faced serious health issues…

January spoke openly about her challenges with misophonia, but here are some other celebrities who have faced serious health issues…

Nikki Bella, known from Total Bellas, shared that one of her breast implants moved after being hit in the chest during a wrestling match with Piper Niven in July 2025.

She reassured her sister, Bella Garcia, that they would get the issue resolved eventually. She explained to the doctor that as soon as she finished her current commitments – implying after her divorce was finalized – she would return to address the problem and make everything look good. She wanted to ensure things were presentable because she anticipated future activity and didn’t want them to appear neglected.

Lupita Nyong’o, known for her role in 12 Years a Slave, received a diagnosis of uterine fibroids—non-cancerous growths in or around the uterus—in 2014, the same year she won an Academy Award for her performance in the film.

She didn’t reveal her diagnosis until 2025, sharing on Instagram that she had been privately struggling with it for over ten years.

She explained that growing up, she was taught to expect periods to be painful, and to accept that pain as a normal part of being female. This often leaves people feeling like they’re dealing with a common, but difficult, experience all by themselves.

 

In July 2025, the actress from Daisy Jones & The Six revealed she was hospitalized for a hernia. This happens when there’s a gap in the abdominal or groin muscles, and in her case, it was caused by wearing very tight pants.

She messaged Suki on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “You haven’t tweeted in a while!” Then, jokingly, she added, “Have you ever thought maybe I wore pants so tight six months ago that I got a hernia and I’ve been too afraid to mention it?”

The former star of Beverly Hills, 90210 shared in April 2025 that he was recovering from surgery because his appendix was close to rupturing.

Brian shared in an Instagram video that he recently experienced stomach pain, which led him to the emergency room. Doctors discovered his appendix had a perforation – a hole formed, but it hadn’t fully ruptured yet.

He added, “I’m on the road to recovery. It’s not an easy process. This is my first major surgery.”

A Racing Louisville soccer player fell to the ground shortly after the start of her team’s game against Seattle Reign on September 14th at Lumen Field in Seattle.

According to Reuters, the U.S. Women’s National Team player was seen slowly sitting down on the field with a teammate supporting her, just before collapsing. Trainers were immediately called to assess her condition.

After receiving initial treatment from medical staff at the game, Savannah was taken to a nearby hospital for more tests. League officials reported she was in stable condition and fully conscious.

Adam Devine revealed that injuries from being hit by a cement truck at age 11 continue to cause him problems now.

Oh my god, it broke my heart hearing Devine talk about it on Graham Bensinger’s podcast in 2025. He said it’s been a total nightmare, and he’s been having these awful spasms all over his body. Can you believe it? The doctors actually told him he was dying – like, seriously, within the last year! It’s just… devastating to hear.

He explained that his pain is intermittent, saying his body has some minor imperfections and isn’t quite working as it should.

A former contestant on The Bachelor went to the hospital because of severe back pain. He described being in so much pain that he had to crawl on his hands and knees, and the pain worsened during a road trip with a friend.

I was sharing on my podcast recently how bizarre my recovery has been. I still get tingling sensations all the way down to my toes, and it’s honestly a little scary. To give you some context, just a few weeks ago I was comfortably squatting almost 300 pounds. Now? I can barely stand on one leg – I actually fall over if I try to squat! It feels like I’ve had a stroke, it’s that disorienting and weak.

But with the help of a back specialist and some steroids, he added, “We’re on the mend.”

Gina Kirschenheiter, from The Real Housewives of Orange County, revealed that her ex-husband, Matt Kirschenheiter, had a heart attack in March 2025, but he is recovering well.

In March 2025, the actor from 30 Rock experienced a medical issue at a New York Knicks game and had to be helped out of Madison Square Garden.

The comedian later posted an update online, explaining he had food poisoning but was starting to feel better.

In February 2025, the former Even Stevens star revealed she was shot in the face during a birthday celebration for her husband, Brendan Rooney. They were on a clay pigeon shooting trip when the incident occurred.

In an Instagram post, she explained that she was accidentally shot in the face by someone at a party. They fired a weapon unsafely, and she was hit five times. Thankfully, @thebrendanrooney quickly helped her, determined she needed medical attention, and rushed her to the hospital. One of the shots came within an inch of her right eye.

The former Kim Possible star explained that a small piece of something got stuck behind their eye. Doctors have advised against removing it with surgery right now, and they’ll continue to monitor the situation, as their vision is currently normal.

The actress expressed immense gratitude for surviving. She shared how much she cherishes her daughters, husband, family, and friends, explaining that experiencing a near-death moment made her realize how quickly life can change. She urged everyone to hug their loved ones often, emphasizing the importance of appreciating those around you.

Amy Schumer is grateful for the internet, even though it can be harsh, because it helped her discover a health issue. After noticing she looked “puffier,” Schumer was surprised when doctors began commenting on interviews, suggesting she might have Cushing syndrome, a condition often linked to high cortisol levels or steroid injections. This prompted her to realize she’d been receiving steroid injections after a breast reduction and C-section. She wouldn’t have known about the condition without the online commentary. Schumer recently shared that she’s relieved to learn her type of Cushing syndrome will resolve on its own and that she’s healthy, calling it “the greatest news imaginable.”

During a game in December 2024, an AHL player was accidentally cut in the face by another player’s skate and needed 25 stitches to close the wound. After his son made a full recovery, New Jersey Devils General Manager Tom Fitzgerald told ESPN how relieved they were, saying, “We feel very lucky, and I wouldn’t want any parent to go through that.”

In March 2022, Hailey Bieber experienced a frightening health scare while having breakfast with her husband, Justin Bieber. She suddenly started having stroke-like symptoms, and couldn’t speak or control the right side of her face. Although these symptoms eventually passed, she went to the hospital where doctors discovered she’d had a small blood clot travel to her brain, which they identified as a TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack). Further testing at UCLA revealed Hailey had a hole in her heart called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). Doctors determined the blood clot had passed through this hole and caused the TIA. Hailey has since undergone a successful procedure to close the PFO and is now recovering well.

The same year Hailey faced a health issue, Justin also experienced one. In June 2022, he revealed he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which caused temporary paralysis on one side of his face. This forced him to cancel the remaining dates of his Justice World Tour.

In a video posted to Instagram, Justin explained the condition affected the nerves in his ear and face, preventing him from blinking, smiling, or moving his nostril on the affected side. He also mentioned it became increasingly difficult for him to eat.

Fortunately, the paralysis eventually went away. Hailey shared on Good Morning America that Justin was recovering well, adding that while it was a frightening and unexpected situation, he was going to be okay and she was thankful he was fine.

Jamie Foxx recently shared details about the serious health scare he experienced in April 2023, which he had initially kept private. He explained that he was in Atlanta when he suffered a severe headache and asked for aspirin. Before he could take it, he lost consciousness and doesn’t remember the next 20 days.

Initially, a doctor gave him a cortisone shot and sent him home, but his sister, Deidra Dixon, was worried and took him to the hospital. There, they discovered he had a brain bleed that caused a stroke.

After surgery, Jamie woke up in a wheelchair on May 4th, unable to walk. He then went to Chicago for extensive rehabilitation and therapy. He expressed deep gratitude for the prayers he received, saying he needed every single one.

The reality TV star shared that she briefly stopped breathing while running in the first challenge of the NBC competition show, describing the experience as feeling like she ‘died’.

She shared on the show Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser that her memory of the event was fragmented. She recalled hearing a helicopter, feeling like she was floating, and then seeing her grandfather. After that, she remembered only darkness, followed by light, leading her to realize she had died that day.

She explained that her organs were failing. She hadn’t known she had rhabdomyolysis, a condition where the body essentially starts to shut down.

Emilia Clarke, known for her role in Game of Thrones, revealed a harrowing health battle in a 2019 essay for The New Yorker. While filming the show, she experienced a sudden, severe headache while at the gym. She described collapsing and being violently ill, quickly realizing something was seriously wrong with her brain.

A hospital scan revealed she had suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a life-threatening stroke caused by a ruptured aneurysm. She immediately underwent surgery to repair it, but the pain was excruciating. During her recovery, she struggled with aphasia, leaving her unable to speak coherently.

Though she recovered and was discharged after a month, a 2013 scan revealed the aneurysm had doubled in size, requiring a second surgery. This procedure initially failed, causing a major bleed and putting her life at risk. Doctors had to perform a more invasive surgery, accessing her brain directly through her skull.

Fortunately, Emilia Clarke is now fully recovered and says she is “at a hundred per cent.”

Cori Broadus, Snoop Dogg’s daughter, recently shared how much she appreciates her family’s support. In January 2024, she suffered a stroke and immediately reached out to her loved ones, sending a text and a picture. She told TopMob News that everyone quickly came to her aid. Cori ended up staying in the hospital longer than expected due to other health issues, including problems with her lupus and failing kidneys. Thankfully, Cori is now recovering well. She says she’s feeling great and has been working to regain some motor skills, but is otherwise doing fine.

Shailene Woodley struggled with health issues throughout her early twenties. In a September 2024 podcast interview, she explained that she experienced hearing loss, extreme fatigue, and digestive problems. She saw many doctors who offered different diagnoses, leaving her feeling confused.

Because she comes from a holistic background and studies herbalism, Shailene decided to combine traditional medical care with alternative healing methods in her search for answers. This journey lasted for ten years.

The physical discomfort led to anxiety around food and eventually issues with body image and self-identity. However, after focusing on both her physical and mental well-being, Shailene is now healthy and happy. She shared that her health issues ultimately resolved themselves, and she’s grateful to be feeling well.
