This means that your symptoms, like vertigo or nystagmus, are not being caused by any brain abnormality like a brain tumor or Multiple Sclerosis. Labyrinthitis is an inflammation of the inner ear and an MRI was probably done just to rule out any brain abnormalities. Labyrinthitis can last a few months and symptoms generally subside slowly.

What question do you ask to identify a good quality MRI machine vs a low quality one?

How many T?

T refers to Teslas, which are a measure of the strength of the magnetic field. Most medical MRIs are done at 1.5 T or less, with better quality images available from 3 T machines, and some used for research coming in at 7 T or more.

Frankly, though, there are ways to get around the "low quality" MRI, so it shouldn't have much of an impact on you (assuming you're not a researcher, which would appear to be the case given the question).
