Well I got it done, wasn't too Long only 15mins and has ear plugs and these passes wedge tightly to my ears in the machine I could hardly hear any one talking . And I have pressure head ache from the pads so that is a good thing I guess . It wasn't too bad was loud but I've been on trains louder...

I dont have any ear plugs if my own as this is all still new to me and I dint know where to get them or what's the best ones. So I'm scared because I don't want this to damage me any more than I am already.

Oh I really don't want to be sedated that's even worst as I can't stop the procedure. But I just don't want it to damage my ears any more. I'm fine in small spaces but it's the noise that scares me.

Hi all, I'm really scared ive got to have a mri scan today and after hearing all the horror stories I really don't want to go through with it. I don't know what to do and I just don't want to end up with worst t because of it. What can I do ? Is it really bad ?

But I won't really know till I get it done , I hope it's not too...

@amandine he told me there have hearing protection for mri scans and it's not that bad , so I'm not sure of the machine that's gunna be used but my scans won't be for a while yet, but this isn't via nhs so I'm hoping IT will be better standard and I still want to go through with it any ways...
