Swallowing/chewing sounds

I’m sure I’m not alone in this, but anybody got any tips on how to cope with it? Certain sounds just drive me up the wall, one of them is swallowing/chewing…it drives me absolutely mad to the point I’m literally pulling my hair out, what’s left of it. 
I find my partner to be particularly loud when slurping/seallowing drinks, and I often have to sit blocking my ears with my fingers or using earplugs, it drives me insane, and to be fair I probably drive her insane too with my unreasonable reaction.

Anybody got any long term solutions? Or psychological tricks I can use to try manage it? There’s plenty of other sounds that drive me absolutely insane, but because involves my partner I want to be able to try and manage it better.

thankyou
