Your symptoms include tinnitus,which must be evaluated by ENT physician first,to rule out underlying ear and CNS pathology,may be better examined by a sub speciality neuro ENT

Seeing an ENT physician is advised

My next step is to pay privately for an mri of the head my doctors have been ignoring me for over a year & I have now reached the stage I cannot approach them anymore I wouldn't know where to start for an ent but I've found where they do the scans why do you advise that??
