Hii. I do not think MRI with gadolinium cause ringing sensation of ear. The ringing sensation of ear is caused by many reasons. Majority of reasons are idiopathic.

I did not have the problem of sensitive noise, consistent ear ringing, head feeling as though sedated all the time until after the mri last month with fluid.
