This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Hello- I'm a 31 year old female. I had optic neuritis about 5 years ago, was tested for MS, results were within normal limits. Now I have sensorineural hearing loss with tinnitus, again all tests were within normal limits. My ENT is stumped, told me to follow up with the neurologist I saw 5 years ago.
I'm curious if my symptoms could be an early sign of MS, even when my tests (including MRI) are normal??

Hi Laura and welcome to TIMS. Was the neurologist you saw a MS specialist? If not, that is who you need to see.

I am not sure if you are aware that a small number of people with MS have normal MRIs I am not saying you have MS, but since you suspect MS, it may be a good idea to see a neurologist that is a MS specialist.

Hope you are feeling better soon!

I'm not entirely sure, but I will look into that. Thanks for the suggestion!
