What Medical Examinations Should I Do?

Hello,

I have visited ENT specialist and that was a big disappointment, he just told me that my ear is okay and there is nothing he can do. He haven't even done any tests to me! What if I have brain tumor or anything else?

I am going to visit another ENT and I will give him the list of the tests I want to be done. Can you suggest what tests should I add to the list?

There are Audiogram, Tympanometry and MRI at the moment.

Is it worth to do MRA?
Is it worth to do Angiogram?
Is it worth to do any kind of blood test?

I have low noise/vibration in my right ear for 5 months. I am not sure is it subjective or objective. The noise is irregular, but intervals are big so I don't think it's pulsatile. Tinnitus also disappears for a while when I do physical exercises, take a hot shower, shaking my head... but it always comes back. The noise is also loud and hard to mask.
