Hi, I live in a house with 4 sibilngs (and my sisters BF is almost always here too). No one is especially loud or noisy but I find small noises incredibly frustrating. If I can here small noises through the wall or ceiling it really distracts me and I find it very hard to concentrate on my university studies.
I have tried using earplugs but (a) these make me sleepy as I wear them to bed too (b) I cannot then listen to lecture recordings (I only use in-ear headphones).
I have tried using ear-muffs over my in-ear headphones but they are incredibly uncomfortable as they squish my head.
I've also tried noise-cancelling ear-phones but they invariably do not block out the sounds that are bugging me.
Has anyone else had this problem and have a solution for me? would be so grateful. thanks
