No. An MRI is used to look for or (rule out) tumors or growths (malignant or benign).
so acoutic cell dead is not to
What about ct scan
Probably fruitless
Sorry, I got CT scan and MRI confused again (I thought I was going for an MRI but it turned out to be CT scan). A CT scans detects tumours. It takes x-rays of your body in layers. MRI use radiowaves for more detailed analysis in body tissue.For my diagnosis, I was given a hearing test which they said mild hearing loss, and a visual inspection of the ear they saw scaring to my eardrum from having grommets when I was a kid. I pushed for further investigation and asked for an MRI. The CT scan ruled out a tumour. The conclusion was my Tinnitus is caused through hearing loss - damage in the cochlear.
So how is your t now
I've mostly learnt to accept it, with the help of strategies. I find it hard to relax, but I've always suffered from insomnia and I suspected I have ADHD - I've not been diagnosed. I take Sertraline to help me sleep and control my anxiety and frustration.
Most of the time many check up cant find underlying illness thats frustrating, just feel like to listen to masking noise sometimes
It's one of the things we can do. You have to find what works for you. All the best in your tinnitus journey.
