Some people will turn the least little tangent into the biggest deal....

Because introverts brains are different from extroverts brains and introverts have a lot more trouble dealing with it and there's a good possibility they can discover why the brain allows the perception of the phantom sound and they can find a way to cure it!

@ GMac14: You won't become an introvert, but you could develop some of the characteristics of introversion, but that's a choice you can make. If you read a lot of the posts of the old timers you'll get a feel for how you can get through the early months and get to where your t makes no...
