Defined as "a persistent, abnormal, and unwarranted fear of flutes", each year this surprisingly common phobia causes countless people needless distress. It can cause panic attacks and keep people apart from loved ones and business associates. Symptoms typically include shortness of breath, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and overall feelings of dread, although everyone experiences aulophobia in their own way and may have different symptoms.
Like all fears and phobias, aulophobia is created by the unconscious mind as a protective mechanism. At some point in your past, there was likely an event linking flutes and emotional trauma. Whilst the original catalyst may have been a real-life scare of some kind, the condition can also be triggered by myriad, benign events like movies, TV, or perhaps seeing someone else experience trauma.
