In this Health Matters segment on CNA938, neurosurgeon Dr Teo Ke Jia discusses the potential neurological causes behind persistent ear ringing, also known as tinnitus. While tinnitus is often linked to hearing loss or ear-related conditions, Dr Teo highlights that in rare cases, it could signal the presence of a brain tumour—particularly acoustic neuromas. He explains the warning signs to look out for, such as one-sided hearing loss, dizziness, or facial numbness, and stresses the importance of timely medical evaluation. Early diagnosis through MRI or hearing tests can make a critical difference in managing outcomes and preserving neurological function.
