Thank you this is very helpful. I had a possible eustacian tube blockage that took a 6 weeks to get better, then had three months of good hearing. Then suddenly I've had tinnitus in my right ear alone and been very anxious and felt disoriented and worried and wanted an MRI scan as I am an anxious person. Thank you for explaning it all so thoroughly and reassuringly.

We're glad to hear you found the video helpful and reassuring. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we hope you continue to find relief and peace.

I have had Tinnitus suddenly appear in my left ear only since Nov or thereabouts of 2021. Had a hearing test which wasn't conducted properly as trainee audilogist did the test. I was referred for a MRI but am a bit frightened to have it done. Anyway, had no pain either in ear or head nor dizziness. Yet now lately wake up with frontal lobe head pressure, with slight pain but never had a migraine. The Tinnitus is constant in my left ear only. I don't sleep properly either, the Tinnitus is more acute at night too.

[@nadiabaily8768]

When T first started I went to all kinds of specialists and they all recommended I get an MRI. My insurance would have paid for it but I never got it because I read in different support groups that the MRI had made T worse because of the loud sounds and also read about people who got T right after an MRI. What do you think of that ? Also, what if you also have noise sensitivity along T? You mentioned other symptoms but no noise sensitivity (hyperacusis and others )

[@sncnutrition7118]

A stand up open MRI will not be as loud. Or maybe do a head CT instead.

[@flord4098]

Good for you not doing MRI it is so loud nothing like regular MRI and yes I got it in my quiet ear right after MRI and it stayed plus hyperacusis 😢

The odd thing about tinnitus is that a doctor's good news that nothing is wrong is actually bad news to you lol. I've had all test an audiologist can do, an MRA, a CT, a neck ultrasound and an overall, neck and spine xray. I do have the cookie bite 4k to 8k mild hearing lose that I've had for several years, but no recent, progressive hearing loss with my latest sudden onset of complex tinnitus that is worse in my left ear. There's multiple sounds that I describe it (as a whole) as glass shattering in slow motion. The most bothersome sound though is a pulsatile hissing in my left. MRA showed nothing abnormal; however, the CT showed severe sinusitis, especially my left ethmoid, and the x-ray showed no c-curve in my neck, and spinal instability in my lower back and hips. So, I'm trying to get my sinusitis under control. Going back for another CT in six months and seeing a chiro for instability. Every neck and facial/sinus adjust does produce a lot of drainage. My tinnitus is a lot less bothersome since I've started going down this path.

[@Mychannel-sf8eq]

How is it going now?

[@Dr.Shaniza]

I have tinnitus since December 2010 unilaterally with moderate SNHL. My left (tinnitus side) eardrum is comparatively thick to other ear. I have migraine sometimes half face swelling. Head spinning Which MRI should be done in this condition

[@treblehealth]

As Audiologists, we do not prescribe MRI's. We suggest speaking with your ENT or Neurologist to discuss further.

[@isartoraplatz]

I had and MRI Brain W/WO Contrast for eye flashes after A dentist hit a facial nerve After the MRI I have Tinnitus.. I question what It will do to someone who Already has it I’m Miserable what I found is that each and every specialist I go to do not do the their due diligence that they should do before sending you in for tests although my primary care Doctor researches many things before she moves forward and questions everything.. what has happened to medicine? MRI only if really medically Necessary...

You need an MRI for Tinnitus if your Tinnitus stops with head movement and is on one side. This can be caused by an Acoustic Neuroma.

I just had my 1st ENT doc appt. Mild to moderate hearing loss (for decades tho) but now have developed tinnitus in 1 ear, since Jan. My other ear’s hearing normal, no tinnitus. ENT doc suggested an MRI. When I found out it was requested “with contrast”, I read about that & became more worried about injecting metals into my body with the dye . Now I’ve decided to wait unless I can do the MRI w/o contrast. The dye is scary to me and don’t think at this early stage, I want to go thru with this using contrast. When I tell the doc, my decision to pass at this time, he might not be happy with me, tho he might not really care. Thoughts?

What kind of MRI? Brain MRI or ear MRI?

When getting an MRI, it typically shows both brain and temporal bone anatomy, which includes the ears.
