    Having an Operation; How Does Anesthesia Affect Tinnitus?

    All I have to undergo a fairly low-level operation on my right ankle. I asked about the procedure; specifically about sedation. My Dr. said I will not have to be put completely under (but I won't feel anything either). I have no idea the different types/methods of anesthesia so I'm curious if...

    Hello World

    I've had severe and invasive T for a year now (mine came on suddenly and in the profound end of the spectrum); doing just fine now (even though I never thought I would be ok again). Hopefully I can be an encouragement (and help) to other T sufferers. My T is squarely in the 'back of the bus'...
