To be honest yes you can say I’m sick of listening to your complaining. But many do say listening to you complaining. But you can use either as I do 🤷🏻‍♀️ hope this helps ! ☺️

Both are acceptable.

I’m fed up with listening to you complaining: “complaining” = verb

I’m fed up with listening to your complaining: “complaining” = noun
“Complaints” also mean the same thing

All 3 are acceptable.

In "listening to you complaining," "complaining" is a gerund.

In "listening to your complaining," "complaining" is a noun.

In "listening to you complain," "complain" is a bare infinitive.

The meanings are practically identical.
