    New and Worried — Tinnitus from Virus or Testosterone Replacement Therapy?

    Good to hear it hasn't affected your hearing. I take daily subcutaneous injections using an insulin needle. Doing it daily removes any peak/valley effect you can get if taken weekly, and the subcutaneous reduces spikes in estrogen that can sometimes be caused by IM. In the past I have tried...
