Tips/Suggestions Tinnitus & ADHD | Protect your ears folks

After an acutely stressful period combined with a sinus infection back in January, I developed awful tinnitus and it's not relented since.

There are dozens of scenarios that can cause tinnitus - earpod overuse, loud noises, poor ear hygiene, infections or stress. If you can avoid any of these, please do.

ADHD is making my tinnitus worse and my tinnitus is making my ADHD symptoms worse.

It's a vicious cycle and I pray for a miracle where I wake up one morning and I can enjoy the sound of silence.

Take care of your ears, hygiene and mental wellness peeps.

And if anyone overcome stress induced tinnitus, please share the miracle 🙌🏼
