My hearing got bad after an MRI as well. I never thought it was the MRI. I have a very full filling in my ears like they plugged up and aloha all the time. Those things are super loud. I’m glad read your comment. I never would’ve thought about it being the MRI.

It would be interesting to get statistics on this topic. Noise is the most common cause of sensorineural hearing loss. We know that. How many people have experienced hearing loss after having an MRI? Hard to know, but other than people in this discussion I am aware of others not on MCC who have.

I wonder how much curriculum in medical schools focuses on the ear, hearing, hearing loss, and preventative considerations. People with hearing loss are constantly complaining about problems in medical settings where personal does not know how to accommodate them.

How do we educate professionals about our unique needs and safety procedures relative to medical procedures?
