Trying to sleep with Tinnitus
Getting to sleep when you have tinnitus can be trying to say the least. If your having difficulty I’ve posted some hints at the blog www.betterhearing.org/blog. If you have specific questions or can help others with things that have helped you, post them here. Sleep deprivation can cause stress, and stress causes tinnitus. Lets break the cycle if we can!
