Brief Answer:
Tinnitus
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Mri report is suggestive of pathology on left side but the symptoms are in the right ear.
My advise is you should get a pure tone audiometry done to see if there is any sensory neural loss.
Follow up with the required information so that I can suggest you better.
Thanks

Thanks for your response.
We have consulted the ENT doctor again with MRI report and she was not able to tell us the reason for her problem. She also told audiometry is not needed as she don’t have any hearing loss.
She just gave Mactotal for 3 months and I am not sure how this Vitamin capsule will help in fixing the problem.
We have also consulted the radiologist who did the MRI to get his opinion again and he is absolutely sure that there is nothing concerning in right side and even the one mentioned in left side can be ignored as it is not a major finding according to him.
Kindly suggest what can be done next as she is suffering from this issue almost 2+ years now.

Hi
You should get a pure tone audiometry done. The hearing loss at times is not much but usually the reason for tinnitus is nerve loss.
Please follow up with the reports so that I can suggest you better.
Take care
Thanks.
