    sounds like the anxiety is causing the negative scary fearful thoughts. Pressure in the ear, Hearing sounds, ringing in the ear is extremely common, especially in people who have anxiety. I’ve had ringing in my left ear for over 30 years on and off. That’s not a sign of a brain tumor. it could be as simple as you have fluid buildup in the ear or if the doctor doesn’t find anything it can be caused by stress that’s what mine was caused by.

    The fact that you convinced yourself, it’s a brain tumor does not mean that is correct. That’s just your fear and emotions talking. Fear is not based on reality. Only thoughts and emotions. Are brain tumors produce way different symptoms than that. So many people have inner ear issues or stress.

    I would suggest that you stop looking for bad health conditions. This will increase the anxiety and cause other sensations that will scare you, even though there’s nothing wrong.

    Live your life and find joy in every day. I learned I had to get out of my head and into my life if I were to enjoy it. You need to do that also. Take care.
