In this Capital 958FM health segment, neurosurgeon Dr Teo Ke Jia discusses tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, and when it might indicate a more serious condition such as a brain tumour. He explains that while tinnitus is commonly caused by hearing loss or ear problems, persistent ringing accompanied by other symptoms like hearing loss on one side, dizziness, or facial numbness may warrant further investigation. Early diagnosis through imaging and hearing tests is crucial for effective treatment and preserving neurological function.
