Acoustic Neuroma Overview

What Are The Symptoms Of Acoustic Neuroma?

The vestibular nerves transmit sound information to the brain and plays a role in balance. As it grows, acoustic neuromas can negatively impact these two functions. Initial signs of one of these tumors include one-sided hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ear), and dizziness. Vertigo, which is a consistent loss of balance, can also result. If an acoustic neuroma becomes too large, it can place pressure on the brain stem, brain tissue, and other cranial nerves which can lead to neurological problems including impaired facial sensation and whole body function.
