A member asked:

What causes my ears to ring all the time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ring ears.: Most likely a hearing loss. Most ringing in the ears is secondary to a hearing loss. You should see an ENT for further evaluation.

Is an MRI better than a CT for diagnosing ear/hearing problems that cause tinnitus? I have a high-pitched ringing in both ears all the time, and can't pop my ears. Vitamin B12 and steroids have not helped. Any suggestions would be great?
