Has anyone experienced tinnitus that seems to stop when you close your ears with your fingers? I have had high frequency tinnitus for years. After a while you sort of get used to it. But recently I started hearing a different noise at night. It seems to stop when I close my ears with my...

Thank you.

I guess that if the magnetic resonance affected the hair structures in that way we'd be hearing about this all the time. So the biggest risk is probably from the noise. Thanks for the thoughts!

We know that the strong magnetic fields created in an MRI test cause all of the protons in the hydrogen atoms of the patient's body to spin into and then out of magnetic alignment. So I'm wondering if this action could somehow disrupt the auditory nerves in such a way as to cause tinnitus. Any...

Just wondering. I have heard that tinnitus can be caused by damage of the auditory nerves that are "hair-like". Loud noise can damage the configuration of these hair-like structures. And so I wonder if Magnetic Resonance can do the same thing.

Hello, I am wondering if MRI's could create tinnitus or exacerbate tinnitus due to the magnetic resonance of the nerves in the ear - not due to the decibel level. Does anyone have thoughts on this? Keith
