Is there a treatment for sensitivity to sound?


Question:
Maybe it is simply a case of "Hey, tough luck," but I have always been sensitive to things loud and melodic: dripping gutters, snoring and now it is heavy bass (no matter where it is coming from). It makes me sooooo anxious and I start to get mad that I have no control over whether I hear it or not.
If its at night, I become so fixated on it that I get even more anxious.
When I was a child, I would never have certain friends sleep over because they snored (or even just loud breathing would do it) and that was all I could hear all night, unable to sleep.
In regards to roommate or neighbors' music, if its just music, that's one thing, but once the focus becomes a heavy bass...OMG! I can't handle it! It drives me nuts!
Am I just a control freak? Does it simply boil down to me being out of luck?

Answers:
I got a solution for your sleeping problems..Ear plugs!
u r just insane... like me lol, i guess ur cure is a loud girlfriend (loud on bed) then ur little "anxious" problem will become addictive
If you've tried things like earplugs then you should first aee your doctor, If they can't help you then they'll referr you to someone who can help you. I'm sure you aren't the only one on the planet who's experiencing this and there's a medical name and a treatment for it.
