Hi,
Noted your history about having loss of hearing in one year and also developed ringing in the same ear, also have high cholesterol, enlarged prostate, depression and taking Lamictal, effexor, zocor, avodart and flomax; headache goes away with 2 Advil and concerned about brain tumor.
As per your detailed history your thoughts are correct hence I would advise you the following:
Consult an ENT Surgeon urgently for clinical evaluation, examination and further investigations:
Audiometry.
MRI and CT scan in combo for mastoids and brain.
Any other studies as would advised.
Continue the medical management as per the advise of the Specialists you are already under management.
