hi
thanks for using healthcare magic
i think in ur case slurring speech is due to your work environment. Sometime due to excessive noise at work place and hearing difficulty, people get slurring of speech. If ur problem is increase, u should go to a speech therapist and consult a ENT specialist for hearing loss. chances to brain tumor is less due to absence of other symptoms.
