Loss of hearing or ear ringing
The temporal lobe, located in the bottom middle part of the cortex behind the temples, is responsible for processing your ability to hear sounds, as well as your ability to comprehend and understand language and conversation. ‘If you’re experiencing hearing loss from one side or a constant ringing sensation, known as tinnitus, you’ll want to make an appointment with your doctor who can determine whether your symptoms are severe enough to see a neurologist,’ says Dr. Carrubba.
Loss of balance
One of the many areas where the brainstem plays a vital role is with motor function. If you start to find walking difficult, especially in the dark, and you tend to lean toward one side, this can be a brain cancer symptom caused by tumors in the cerebellum, the area of the brain responsible for balance and coordination. Balance issues are also a silent symptom of multiple sclerosis.
