Very scared of having one

Hi,
I've experienced some symptoms of AN (hearing loss, dizziness/balance issues and tinnitus except I've had tinnitus for as long as I can remember)
Went to the doctors, ear was fine and started on Prednisolon and got a few injections. Hearing haven't gotten better. I still have pressure in that ear aswell, even though I know that possible results can take a while. It has been about one month from getting those injections so I am trying to stay hopeful.

The main part what I am scared about is that if I do have one and have to get surgery, there would be a huge risk of becoming fully and permanently deaf. I have already lost my hearing on my another ear in my childhood.

I probably have my MRI in the autumn and I am beyond scared of it.

I don't know what I am seeking for with this post but I just had to get this out somehow.
