MRI will show nerves tissue wonderfully. While hearing test can detect nerve damage accurately, MRI will help shed some light over further management and intervention for the problem Sometimes a the pattern of the audiogram (part of a hearing test) and the variations between your air condution thresholds and your speech proccessing give indications of what is called a central processing problem. All that means is that your hearing and speech processing scores indicate a possibility of problems in the brain. The two major possibilities that the Dr wants to rule out are a brain tumor or a mini stroke which may have affected your hearing processing centers. These problems are easily ruled out with an MRI.
