So happy for you, @sammy! Does your tinnitus spike a little from the music but quickly die down again? Or no real spike ?

ErikaS commented on SarahMLFlemmer's profile post.

Thank you, @Ringing_seal ! It is called LumoMed laser. Right now the only clinic in USA that has them is Advanced Rejuvenation in Sarasota.

@obnoxious lmao! @ErikaS That’s amazing! So glad you got to enjoy yourself and realize some things about your new life with T.

@ErikaS knowing what you can do without it having an effect on your T level gives you that freedom to do more without that worry.

@Ryan Scott Have you tried a small quiet visit with/without protection? It’s very good for the mental health if you’re able to.
