I have never been deaf, but this bothers me too. I guess it's mild Misophonia. When someone is eating something in the other room, the scrape of the cutlery on their dish means I can't work until they're done. Often with the door closed too. I live with someone who seems to take 10 minutes to crunch around a chocolate bar wrapper before/while eating it. This raises my adrenaline for no reason I can discern.
