A Brain cancer is a non-cancerous tumor that develops on the nerve that connects the ear to the brain. The tumor usually grows slowly. As it grows, it presses against the hearing and balance nerves.
At first, you may have no symptoms or mild symptoms. They can include loss of hearing on one side, ringing in ears, dizziness and balance problems.
The tumor can also eventually cause numbness or paralysis of the face. If it grows large enough, it can press against the brain, becoming life-threatening.
Brain cancer can be difficult to diagnose, because the symptoms are similar to those of middle ear problems. Ear examination, hearing tests, and scans can reveal it.
