Thoughts and prayers to you both.  Please post updates on how you are doing.  The conversations about tinnitus were helpful, as mine is getting louder.  It also helps to know what to expect as to recovery time, even though that seems different for everyone?

Hey SG...I hope you get an answer soon about when you'll be able to go in!  As far as tinnitus, I think that once it starts, it'll never stop.  It may vary in volume quite a bit, but don't expect it to go away.  So far there's no known cure for it! If it gets too bad there are ways of making it manageable.  Take care and keep us updated! :)
