Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. You should be worried but not too much.There are different kinds of tumors:

1.Paragangliomas. These are usually benign.
2.Skin cyst or cholesteatoma.It forms usually in the middle ear (the space behind the eardrum).
3.Skin cancer.
Biopsia and removing of tumor is necessary for recovery, because benign tumor can grow big,can become malignant. Hearing depends from statement of auditory nerve and bones in middle ear. If it will be normal she will hear.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing your granddaughter good health.
