A member asked:
Ears ringing & muffled sometimes. doctor said i didnt have infection but a buildup of earwax. i heard brain tumors can cause tinnitus. should i worry?

No: It would be useful to see an ENT specialist for your peace of mind and to have your ears cleaned out. Brain tumors as cause of hearing problems are uncommon.
