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?

  • Also, when my brother was younger (who is also on the spectrum) they kept testing to see if he was deaf, but the tests kept coming back negative.  Turns out he had problems listening, not hearing.
