I'm new to this thread and just want to Introduce myself. I have been a silent reader of this forum for a long time and it has helped me dig up a bit of advice and keep on top of treatments and such. I have had mild tinnitus for a while now, got it from a infection of some sort that made me deaf in my right ear( about 70% of the hearing came back thank god). But i did notice it and have gone deaf once since. I don't really notice it unless it is spiking, it is just loud enough over my fan. so not hugely annoying. But it's nice to have a community of people to talk about when it is spiking. Just wanted to introduce myself and get to talking and knowing you all
