Not long ago, I found myself sitting in a quiet café, sipping my second espresso of the day when an unexpected high-pitched whir from an espresso machine nearly knocked me over with a migraine. That sharp, piercing sound? It triggered a throbbing ache that crept up behind my eye like it had been waiting. That…
Last week, I found myself curled up in bed, lights off, room quiet—yet my head was pounding like a bass drum. I hadn’t eaten for hours, and boom—there it was. A migraine, out of nowhere. Or so I thought. Turns out, skipping meals or letting blood sugar plummet can trigger something far more disruptive than…
Not too long ago, I found myself in a cycle that many chronic migraine sufferers know all too well. I’d pop an NSAID the moment I felt that familiar throb behind my eye, thinking I was staying ahead of the pain.

For the longest time, I thought the weird ringing sounds, the pulsing whoosh in my head, and the occasional muffled hearing were just random annoyances. Turns out, they weren’t random at all. If you’ve ever had that high-pitched, persistent ringing in your…
Ever found yourself searching for something to listen to that isn’t just background noise, but genuinely helpful—especially on days when your head feels like it’s splitting in two?
