Hi, I’m Sarah Lawson.
I’m 45, and just a few months ago the ringing in my ears felt unbearable. It started small… then grew louder every day. Sleep became difficult. Focus disappeared.
A specialist told me there was no real cure — only ways to manage symptoms. That answer wasn’t good enough.
Scientists now believe tinnitus may involve a stuck sound‑processing “filter” in the auditory system — so the brain keeps amplifying phantom sound signals.
Once I understood that, I tried a simple bedtime routine designed to help calm that pathway.
