Hearing every noise

This drives me crazy. I think I can hear noises that others don't and it drives me to distraction. For example, the hum of my boiler keeps me awake and sound of next door's bathroom fan. I obsess about these noises and they distract me from what I'm supposed to be doing. I sit around waiting for specfic things that I know are on a timer :( Does anyone else suffer this? What do you do?

  • Thank you so much. I really do have a problem with filtering out background noise - I struggle to hear what people are saying in pubs etc. I'd never put the two together - instead thinking I had a hearing problem!
