I'll make a small outline. About the topic tinnitus. Permanent ear noise.
Tinnitus has a quite objectively measurable volume, or testable volume. As well as a subjective volume. I am now somewhat out of the subject, about 20 years ago the loudest tested tinnitus was about 10db.
That is a forest in calm wind.
At the same time, some sufferers report significantly higher strain. As loud as a drill. As loud as a lawn mower. As loud as an airplane turbine! Subjectively, that is the strain. Objectively, that cannot be true, because you can talk to sufferers without having to shout.
How does that come about? Why do many people hardly suffer from tinnitus, while others (despite a somewhat objective strain in a similar volume range) feel like they have a lawn mower next to them?
Because of the way our attention works. We focus it on something, and it gets bigger. We fight against something (for example, absolutely do not think of blue giraffes!), and it gets bigger.
Actually, here is already the solution:
The “really loud” will not be that a brass band is playing under your room. Because that is “really loud.” I think it is quite “different than before,” and that is simply normal. Have you ever measured the decibels with your phone? Maybe for us? Maybe just to get a rational number?!
With others, there are also before/after differences: suddenly you have a pitch-dark kitchen, a hallway that is way too narrow, a bedroom that is too bright, technology next to the bed that feels too loud, a pantry that is too warm or a bathroom that is too cold, a children's room that is way too small and tiles in the living room that are way too rough and hard, not to mention the view the neighbors have into the garden—and none of that is acceptable. Not acceptable, if you understand. And then life just goes on, because the kids have to go to school and you have to work. Life goes on, concentration shifts to the essentials, priorities change and adjust. The pitch-dark kitchen is not so dark during the day, only darker in the morning, curtains are bought for the bedroom (finally fabric on the walls again), the noise from the technology is relativized next to the snoring husband, a radiator is considered for the bathroom, the pantry is annoying but used then just for fruit (the cans and devices don’t care), and about the neighbors: it’s played out really nicely with them. The kids find each other and play together. The adults treat the window respectfully.
Here, in the picture, attention is directed to other things. Then the strain shrinks again.
I would recommend several steps:
1. Measure the actual noise exposure. From the descriptions, the noises should already be in the range above 65db. If not, see tinnitus, perception control (see above) is also involved. Especially, if the noises are below 40db, I would become very—pun intended—alert. Perception control can be worked on well.
2. Are the noises excessively negatively connoted? If yes, then a vicious circle is active again, which intensifies the perceived suffering. Some noises can be avoided. Others cannot. It is like tinnitus—it pursues you even if you let it.
3. Is this the place where all the emotional strain of the current situation discharges? Essentially the lightning rod?
When answers to this are found, then a good decision can be made.
Good luck and success!
