Earplugs

I find ear plugs too uncomfortable for me so use sound limiting headphones that go over my head and this works well for me if I go out. At home I use my own stuff to try make sound a little more comfortable.

I keep meaning to use them more at home. My fridge makes a fair bit of noise and while I can close off the kitchen it still gets through to the living room. Be good to wear them when reading on the sofa or similar.

My fridge is a big loud and slightly distracting, but what was affecting more was a bathroom fan droning - not that loud in the day, but at night it was slightly irritating.  The filter was really clogged with dust, so I washed it and put it back and now its quieter.

I'm listening to a really noisy overhead monitor in work right now. Can't wait to get away from it in ten minutes when we close. I'm not usually under it thank goodness, but the office brings its own sensory overloads - roof machinery though the (seemingly mandatary) open window. I mean I know it's not life in the trenches, but still...
