Ear sound white matter
Some sound was coming from my right ear from last 8 months and it started from left ear too from last 2 months.I consulted to ENT. In PTA test it identified that some hearing loss is there(tinnitus). but I had blood clot before 9 months so doctor suggested to do MRI scan and shows that "Small deep hemispheric white matter hypertension signal noted at right frontal region" then I consulted to neuro surgeon and they carried out angiogram test which came normal still doctor said there was nurve which was narrow and because of angiogram it opened correctly. But I still want to know
1 does angiogram fixes nerve problem ? As I know it's only for diagnosis and not for fixing
2. Is ear sound because of that nerve narrowing!
3 . What does "Small deep hemispheric white matter hypertension signal noted at right frontal region" means? Does any further investigation required!?
4. Is tinnitus curable? Right now I'm taking medicine BF t-CD which ENT has prescribed.
Any suggestions please?

Mostly noise and hearing loss occur together .
Chance of a narrowed blood vessel can cause this.
By angiogram introduction of dye is done or visualisation of lumen of blood vessel with a high tech device is done.
There is every chance that the procedure has widened the vessel lumen though it is rare.
It is not " hypertension "
"hyper or hypo echo" of the image in ct or mri.
