This happens because of something called [sensory/neural adaptation](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_adaptation). Like the other comments have said, we respond to changes in stimuli. If something happens continuously, eventually your neurons reduce their sensitivity to that stimulus.
For example, after a while you don’t notice the sound of a fan if it’s been on for a long time or the feel of the clothes you’re wearing.
This [link](https://users.pfw.edu/abbott/120/adaptation.html) lists a few other examples related to sight, hearing, touch, smell, and hand-eye coordination.
