Tinnitus in Left Ear

Hi i don't know if this is right place to talk about, but recently about a couple months ago, I heard ringing in my left ear (just my left ear). I searched up and it said that it could be a symptoms of a brain tumor, so should i be worried? It also sounds like its in my head but at the same time in my ear as well, what should I do?

 

Do you have other symptoms associated with a brain tumor (e.g., dizzy spells, problems on only one side of the body)? If tinnitus is your only symptom, I wouldn't worry about brain cancer.

If there really is no reason for you to get T (no exposure to loud noise, use of headphones, hearing loss), you may want to do an MRI to eliminate the possibility that you have acoustic neuroma.

 

mine started in my left ear. its best sometimes to get and mri to rule out causes. good luck, Alan

 

unilateral t should be investigated with a brain mri to rule out neuromas as others have suggested

an extended audiogram would be helpful

noise exposure?
