A member asked:
I have white matter on the brain what does that mean. i also have a hearing loss on the left .
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need exact wording: Everybody's brain has white matter ; tg since it is the necessary stuff to transmit signals from one part of the brain to another or the spinal cord or cranial nerves. I suspect the radiology report said something like, "white matter changes, diffusely seen, etc. Etc." it is likely not significant to the reason they got the scanbut your doctor will know best. Ask for an interpretation.
