About Acoustic Neuroma
An acoustic neuroma is a non-cancerous growth within the internal auditory canal (a passageway leading from the ear to the brain). While the cause of acoustic neuromas is unknown, they always arise from the vestibulo-cochlear nerve, which is responsible for both hearing and balance. These tumors typically grow very slowly and can often take many years to cause symptoms. Depending on the size of the tumor, symptoms range from hearing loss to vertigo to facial numbness. When the growth is sufficient to require treatment, physicians either remove them microsurgically or perform sterotactic radiation therapy to arrest or kill the tumor.
