A mum who believed she had an ear infection was shocked when she was told it was actually a brain tumour.
Sue Hitchmough, 48, went to the doctors after suffering from minor hearing loss in her right ear accompanied by dizziness. However, after taking a course of tablets she didn't get any better and even began experiencing difficulty with swallowing.
Despite her condition worsening, Sue attributed it to "overdoing it at the gym". But, she was eventually diagnosed with a low-grade acoustic neuroma - a type of brain tumour - in September 2021.
