Newbie—MRI induced
Hi,
Never previously had tinnitus. Had a 3T MRI earlier this week. Seemed like ear protection was inadequate. Immediately had auditory symptoms following it, including hyperacusis with pain. Tinnitus developed over the next couple of days. No hearing loss on standard audio gram but absent distortion product at 8K. Audiologist said that missing DP without hearing loss doesn’t indicate damage.
Adding symptoms for anyone curious—one night, from inside my house the sound of crickets from the nearby forest was unbearable and caused burning sensation. Immediately after the MRI, I had dizziness that subsided initially. But in the following days I have experienced vertigo, which is something I have never felt before in my life.
One morning, I awoke and my inner ear muscle was pulsating with successive spasms. Next morning, woke up with roaring static like I was under a massive waterfall.
EDIT: DP was present up to and including 6.7K, missing at 8K only.
