I read your question and I understand your concern.
However regarding the history of brain tumor, that should not be related. A brain tumor or the surgery for it doesn't cause ear bleeding especially since in this case it is bilateral.
The most common cause for that would be trauma, use of blood thinning products, bleeding tendency, bilateral infection.
To make a diagnosis though, a complete blood count and coagulation tests, as well as physical examination by an ENT (ear-nose-throat) specialist is required.
I hope to have been of some help.
