Chain saws, motor bikes starting up, the vacuum cleaner, electric mixers, bathroom fans, omg yes the hand driers...it might feel right now as if you will never be able to go out again and use a public restroom, or clean your house or bake a cake with your kid at home....but they do grow out if it. Or learn to cope. By around five, life will be mostly back to normal - unless you get more of these little people, but our younger kids had different sensitivities and anxieties, so the noise thing is very much an issue of the past now.
Don't worry about doing things right or wrong, just help your kid cope and move through life without paralyzing themselves or their families with their fears. This will pass, whatever you do or don't do, just try not to make them or yourself miserable about it.
