   I recently had a mole removed from my face and needed 2 local anesthetics. Might have been my imagination but I think my T reduced in volume for a few days after.
   
   Any link?

   Cause of Tinnitus:

   Syringing

   Well, I've heard Lidocaine for example can (temporarily) suppress tinnitus in some cases. I remember some of our members reporting that their tinnitus was suppressed after having been administered local anesthetic (I've also read about a few cases where the same has happened after general anesthesia).
   
   Some studies:

   Thanks @Markku I'm so tempted to ask my GP to give me a local every few weeks
