There is no harm in getting an MRI with gadolinium enhancent of the internal auditory meatus. Depends on whether the ringing or hearing loss is in one or both ears. Mri is done if.ringing is on one side only.
Next Steps
get a Pure tone audiometry done to know the hearing status
Health Tips
be careful while driving or during other activities requiring balance
