My 'ringing' in the ears is intermittent.  The left ear needs wriggling most days in order to 'hear' but it's age: eustachian tubes have narrowed due to a drop of oestrogen

Hi ladies,

Yay a post that's not about my bowels!
About 2 months ago I developed what I presume is tinnitus.  An annoying hiss in both years sometimes with heartbeat. I went to GP ( locum who I've never seen since ) and he immediately organised a MRI of my brain,  the appointment is on Tuesday.  I'm not sure I want to go - firstly is it really necessary for tinnitus?  Was it an overreaction on the part of the GP?  I've had enough scans to last a lifetime.  I don't want them to find anything else wrong with me!
Has anyone had a MRI of the head for tinnitus and what are your thoughts?
OH tells me just go and get it done but I'm just having second thoughts about it all,  the tinnitus is still there but comes and goes .
Opinions please xxx

Mine started around premeno i had a scan too they were hard pressed to fi d my brain hehe go for it. Gp is covering all bases sounds like a b..y good Doctor x
