Yep. I was told Iโd stop hearing it as I got older but I turn 40 next month and I still hear it.

Age related hearing loss can actually make you more sensitive to certain sounds. I have difficulty understanding speech but increased sensitivity to sounds including electrical buzzing.
Oh no I was so looking forward to just a little bit of hearing loss to finally stop hearing all these noises around me :-(
