I just had a cervical MRI for numbness/pain in shoulder, head, neck and arms with dull headaches being a more common thing these days.
After getting my results, I have read that some nerves can effect your hearing and my hearing has been getting bad for a while now but the past 6 months it seems to have sped up with the loss. I also have an occasional "clicking/ticking" sound that happens makes me think of Morse code.
My MRI results are below. My PM sent me for the test but I am planning on seeing a neuro doctor. Has anyone out there had anything similar from herniated discs?
