Noise sensitivity solutions

Hi,

does anyone have any suggestions for coping strategies regarding noise sensitivity? the party wall with my neighbour is really thin. I already use foam in the ear ear-plugs but I don't like them down my ear. I have got some sennheiser Hd 280 headphones too but they just arn't practicle all the time. Have also tried etymotic research ear plugs but don't like them down my ears.

The noise doesn't have to be great for me to hear it and get really worked up. It means that I really want to move house...that just seems impossible..... It is all making me very unhappy and the one place (my studio) where I go to recharge is not quiet and private.

Has anyone tried the soft putty like ear plugs at all?

    .....ear  plugs are pretty uncomfortable and tend to fall out sometimes...they also effect my spacial awareness....Even with them in I can still hear noises from next door. I lay in bed last night with ear plugs in and over that I wore isolating headphones playing music. i couldn't really hear much outside noise but I couldn't sleep and had to stay on my back. Pretty impracticle. It was gone nine o'clock and there was banging and hoovering. To be honest though even if they were just quiet noises it would bother me but its just too much to cope with.

    I am thinking about taking anti-depressants again but I think its wrong that I should have to. Why am I wrong and the world is right?
