I'm getting a CT scan and MRI tomorrow. I hope they find something fixable wrong with my ears...

Hi Bob, I wish I had an answer for you. In another section someone mentioned something about severing a nerve from heat and it causing the blood flow near the ear to increase, lowering the T a bit. I think I'm going to look into that soon. I wonder if hypnosis can work. I know it doesn't help...

Hi there, yes, I still play the guitar and am trying to release a CD. My house looks like a guitar store. I think my tinnitus has gotten a little worse, and I need to have the new issue in my left ear looked into. If I were a smart guy, I'd probably just listen to baroque music at low volume and...

Thanks ELA, sadly, my tone doesn't change when I move my jaw forward... at least noticeably. Thanks for the advice, I will see about looking up someone at UCSF.

Hello, my name is Michael, aka Uncle Rocker, and I've lived with T since 2000. I won't bore you with the details except that between playing the guitar and loving hard blues rock and heavy metal, I apparently did myself in. I normally wear earplugs whenever there is loud noise, and dampen tissue...
