This test: measures the "connection" between the outside (cochlear) hearing organ and the brain itself! It is used for a number of hearing/balance issues besides acoustic neuroma. You should discuss this question with the Health Care Professional who ordered the test....(good advice for ALL MEDICAL TESTING!) Hope this helps! Dr Z

Hi doctors! I had what I believe you said was tinnitus--sound of childs squeeze toy inside my right ear. The noise has subsided. I had an MRI of the skull base and brain--would that MRI show an acoustic neuroma if I had one? What else causes tinnitus?
