Ear symptoms: Tumors occur in the pharyngeal recess. In the early stage, they can compress or block the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube, leading to tinnitus, ear occlusion and hearing loss, and secretory otitis media. Many clinical patients are discovered due to ear symptoms. The increase of cancer tissue and invasion of the Eustachian tube can cause otitis media, ear pain, tinnitus, and hearing loss. If the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube is compressed, the pressure difference between indoor and outdoor is increased, which can aggravate the tinnitus symptoms. Early symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma are common in nosebleeds, nasal obstruction, epistaxis, anemia, headaches, and swollen lymph nodes in the neck.
