Acoustic Neuroma Overview

Tinnitus

Tinnitus, which refers to the repetitive or constant ringing in the ears, is a common complication of an acoustic neuroma. Rarer types of tinnitus may take the form of buzzing or pulsing instead of ringing. The ringing sound is typically only present in the affected ear, though individuals may experience ringing in both ears if both auditory nerves have acoustic neuromas. While acoustic neuroma is a rare phenomenon, about fifteen to twenty percent of affected individuals also experience tinnitus. Rather than being its own condition, tinnitus is considered a symptom of an underlying issue. If individuals notice one or both ears are ringing, especially if this is combined with hearing loss, they should talk to a doctor.
