Don't you think an MRI is overkill?

I got a letter from the ENT today, asking me to give him a call. I do, and he tells me that he's going to mail me a prescription for an MRI. He doesn't say anything about what he thinks may be wrong, only that the unilateral hearing loss means that an MRI is the next step in figuring out the problem.

I called my parents and ranted about how an MRI seems ridiculous. I mean, I just have some ringing, and I can't even tell that I have hearing loss. I doubt an MRI is going to do anything. I decide to wait a couple of weeks before making the appointment.
