Farmed and Dangerous

“I’ve got tinnitus, and I just have to live with it.”
Luckily, I was able to help him.
Tinnitus is an aggravating, nerve-racking, and unseen condition.
The constant ringing in your ears robs you of sleep, makes you miserable as it drowns out your hearing, and, over time, makes you more prone to illness. Tinnitus also shatters your focus and concentration.
