Got the results and all is normal. He said there are some white spots but normal as we get older. He wants me to see a neurologist to follow up but I think I am done. The MRI made the T worse and made me feel terrible so I don't want to spend more money on uneccessary appointments and tests.

Thank you for responding so fast and I will try not to worry! I hope to hear tomorrow since that is what the nurse told me to expect. Kind of ironic that I had the MRI for T, hearing loss and headaches and came out with all three things worse! Hoping that diminishes too. Thanks again.

So, I had my MRI at 1 today. It wasn't too bad overall, but very, very loud. I thought it all went well until I sat up at the end and my ears felt so clogged I couldn't really hear. It is 3 hours later and I feel exhausted, have a headache and my ears are still unbalanced and feel like there is...

Your tinnitus started this morning? And you think you have MS? I am not quite sure I understand. I have had tinnitus off and on for years, (mostly on) in both ears that I can't ignore.

I just posted about this today too. My ENT ordered one for me 2 years ago becuase of unilateral hearing loss. I never went. 2 years later he has ordered one again because of hearing loss in both ears which is now bilateral plus tinnitus and a positive ANA result. I go on Thursday.

Interesting. I guess I should get the MRI done then. Once he discovered he had MS, was there anything that helped the tinnitus?

Hi, I just found this site and hope someone can share or help. I have had tinnitus for a few years, 2 years ago I had a hearing test and right ear was worse than the left so the ENT ordered an MRI which I never did. Now, 2 years later, tinnitus is so much worse, I get headaches a lot and it...
