What is Tinnitus?
The symptoms of Tinnitus include ringing noises in the ears or hearing sounds that seem to be coming from inside your head. The sounds of Tinnitus may be varied and sufferers report the noise as ringing, buzzing, whistling, beating or roaring. The noise may be continuous, may come and go, be heard in one ear or in both. Tinnitus is sometimes associated with hearing loss. For some, Tinnitus may be nothing but an annoying little sound they hear every now and then, but for the unlucky ones, Tinnitus can reduce the ability to concentrate or hear outside noises and may become completely debilitating - preventing the sufferer from leading a normal life.

Your son is running through the house at 92 miles per hour (you’ve clocked him with a State Patrol radar gun) and won’t stop. Yes, he has ADHD, you know this, but you’ve asked and then told him to stop, and you could really care less about ADHD. You want this child to BE STILL.
In these circumstances it’s easy to think your ADDHD child is being willful and stubborn. That really is probably not the case. Remember that ADHD comes with impulse control as a main component, and kids with ADHD sometimes just can’t control themselves.

Digestive Disorders can be confusing! Here are some definitions.
