I empathize: I understand your fear, which is completely natural when you hear that a tumor is a possibility for your symptoms. All I can say is hang in there. Do the tests as your doctor asks. In medicine we usually rule out the worst and most dangerous conditions first, so the MRI is a reasonable step. There are many other possibilities, however. Be sure to talk to your support people, and keep your chin up!

Unlikely.: Tumors will often present with a more progressive type of hearing loss. If your hearing loss was sudden, it's probably not from a brain tumor.
