Well, the ENT consultant doesnt think it's noise related hearing loss. This is due to the frequency that the loss is centred around. He'd normally expect to see loss of higher frequencies and therefore suggests that my loss may be more congenital as there is a pronounced dip at 2kHz.

Unfortunatly, the right hear has slightly more loss than the left ear at 3kHz (the same amount of loss as at 2kHz) and for this reason he has requested an MRI scan. I'm worried.

Anybody had one of these for hearing loss? The test doesn't worry me (apart for the threat of dye injection, which is a big phobia of mine) but the reasons why he has asked for this does worry me greatly.

The annoying thing is that I don't think I'm deaf! I think my hearing is as it always has been.
