Author Decible levels in MRI

I recently had an MRI for my chest and was in there for about 30
minutes. I have had Tinnitus for about 10 years and still several days
after the MRI my Tinnitus is much worse. It _may_ be calming down a bit
though. I wore earplugs rated for 34. I was curious how many decibels a
1.0 Tesla Phillips generates? I am curious how many decibels I was
exposed to that caused my Tinnitus to nearly double in intensity. I
truly hope it is temporary. I am fairly sure I had a good tight fit on
my earplugs too. Thanks for answering this off the wall question.
