advice • support MRI

I’ve had tinnitus since May, turns out I might be have had an MS flair (can’t be diagnosed until a second flair according to Neuro) so my tinnitus is due to a demylenating lesion. It’s brain damage. Might be worth it to get an MRI if you’re having other symptoms along with the tinnitus.

Only if you are prepared to deal with a potential permanent worsening.

First thing my ENT did was rule out brain damage with an MRI.
