Corby Davidson, radio co-host of dfwticket's Hardline, has rare benign tumor

The Ticket's Corby Davidson pictured at The Ticket’s studio in Dallas, Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2023. Davidson announced he has a rare, benign brain tumor called an acoustic neuroma.sports radio talk station The TicketDavidson explained last week on The Ticket’s weekday afternoon show, The Hardline, that his left ear recently began to ring and to feel “waterlogged.” An MRI brain scan revealed that he has a noncancerous tumor called an acoustic neuroma that can impair hearing and balance.

Unlike cancerous tumors, acoustic neuromas do not destroy healthy brain tissue, according to Dr. Sam Barnett, a neurosurgeon at UT Southwestern Medical Center and an expert on acoustic neuroma. There are three main options to treat an acoustic neuroma, according to Barnett. One, as Davidson mentioned, is observation: monitoring the tumor and the patient’s hearing to make sure everything stays stable. Another option is radiation, which can reduce the size of the tumor but can cause negative side effects, Barnett said.

It’s a risk that Davidson is not yet willing to take, especially when there’s a chance the tumor may never grow.
