Is It Tinnitus To Hear A Mild Sound In My Head?
Dear Doctor,
In my head I hear a mild sound for one year (without a few moths) which actually creates nothing to my head except the disturbance, in day and night. I consulted a Ear Nose and Throat specialist doctor. He doubted that it may result in brain tumor. What is your answer? Will it result in brain tumor? I heard about tinnitus. But I cannot conclude it. I don't know whether it is tinnitus. Can it be cured?
Thank you.

Good day!
Tinnitus is a buzzing sound and it has association with inner ear involvement or labyrinth. Tumor is a long shot but a complete vestibular functional assessment is recommended. Seek otorhinolaryngologist and a neurologist consult. And yes it can be cured easily. No worries
take care

Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
You need thorough clinical examination. Rarely problems in brain can cause tinnitus and vertigo. Apart from ear, nose and throat doctor, consulting a neurologist is important. If necessary a brain CT or MRI scan will be done.
