    I think Canon Vantage 1.5T with Pianissimo technology is the most quiet one from traditional MRIs. I was able to locate them in my country using the international customer service e-mail, which is listed on the official website.

    Tonal Audiogram with Increasing/Decreasing Volume

    Thank you for your answer. My ENT told me this audiogram covers frequencies up to 14kHz. I'm afraid because my sound sensibility is mostly on high frequencies. As anyone here with H has done this extended audiogram with decreasing volume? How did you feel? Best regards

    Airbag Deployment in a Car Accident — Delayed Symptoms 7 Days Later: Ear Fullness, Sound Sensitivity

    Do you think this is related with the accident? The fullness feeling is not constant, it comes and goes several times a day, as well as my sound sensivity. Should I take prednisone 10 days after the accident anyway? I have deflazacort which is the same thing I guess.

    Flight with Hyperacusis

    Do you think this pain you got was related to the fact that the earplugs prevent pressure equalization? The pain went away after the flight?

    Flight with Hyperacusis

    I said they don't allow earmuffs, not earplugs. Earplugs are much less noticeable, so I belive they will not say anything. Anyway, what is the material of your earplugs? foam? wax? I belive the foam may be better for pressure equalization.
