Missaphonephobia 

Share definition Flag
Someone is triggered to lunge for their phone when they hear a ringtone – and often finds it somebody else’s phone ringing which further elevates their anxiety.
I really can’t be in his company anymore because his Missaphonephobia not to miss a phone call makes conversation impossible.

When someone is on edge and triggered to immediately grab their phone any time they hear a ringtone – even if it’s somebody else’s nearby.
I really don’t like going out with him these days because he has a bad case of missaphonephobia and can’t concentrate on anyones conversation.
