What is the primary goal of MRI in patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL)?
- To detect morphometric changes in the cochlear nerve (CN)
- To rule out an acoustic neuroma (correct)
- To compare the CN size between healthy and diseased ears
- To measure the size of the CN before cochlear implantation
