    MRI and Hyperacusis Nightmare!

    I recently had an MRI for reasons unrelated to T, and it did kind of suck. I was able to wear earplugs, as well as some headphone muffs that they provided (I didn't use them to listen to music). The hearing protection helped of course, but it was still pretty loud. I do not think however that...
