I can hear but I have ear pain/pressure which I think is from my eye pain and pressure. I too also had another mri of my brain and the ear. This was not only to look at tumors but fluids or other things which I am not sure what pressing. I am assuming you are not in the US but is there any way you could get one? I had been to all the other specialties like the ear doctor,11 eye specialist etc and the pain was so high I went back to my neuro who did the mri again. I had one a year ago for my legs of the brain though. Have you been tested for other conditions like auto immune in addition?Feel better
