Custom ear plugs work like a charm at work and at night!
TL;DR Dr. Carroll is awesome, personal, and helped me get custom ear plugs to improve my focus and sleep quality. They work like a charm! <br />
<br />
25y/m recently diagnosed with ADHD. Through talking with my therapist and psychiatrist, I was informed that helping reduce noise / exposure to a lot of stimuli can improve focus at work AND help me fall asleep more easily since my mind wouldn't be trying to process everything. I.e, try ear plugs!!!<br />
<br />
The thing is, I have pretty small ears. Foam ear plugs worked okay but I had to readjust every couple minutes, and the reusable kind you get at stores hurt my ears after a while. Both were a nuisance when I was trying to sleep. I decided to look into getting a custom pair. I searched online and made an appointment with Dr. Carroll. I was able to schedule one within like 2 days and went in for a consultation.<br />
<br />
Dr. Carroll was super nice and helpful. She explained the benefits of custom plugs. They're a little expensive up front, BUT they essentially last forever and require little maintenance to clean. And they're shaped to fit your specific ears so they'll be nice and snug. <br />
<br />
She took impressions of my ear canals, sent the info to get the plugs made, and they came just a couple weeks later. I couldn't be happier with them - they fit snug, make things very quiet, don't fall out at night, and don't hurt if I leave them in overnight or while I'm working! <br />
<br />
If you or your child have ADHD I highly recommend looking into custom plugs or consulting with Dr. Carroll. Or if you'd just like to protect your hearing or focus more at work! Investment is worth it.
