Brief Answer:
Other conditions may cause such symptoms.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor " service.

I have read your query and here is my advice.

Headaches with ear ringing are symptoms that may coexist in a number of conditions, not necessarily a brain tumor.

These conditions include migraine, idiopathic increased intracranial pressure, stress induced headaches, post concussive syndrome ( after minor head trauma ), etc.

In order to be sure for the correct diagnosis, a neurological examination and a brain MRI are necessary.

I don't think yours is a case of brain tumor, but above mentioned evaluations are necessary to understand correctly the condition.

Discuss with your Neurologist for these issues.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
