Symptoms and Diagnosis of Acoustic Neuroma

Symptoms of an acoustic neuroma can be associated with the size of the tumor, but this is not always consistent. Many patients experience few symptoms, even with the presence of a large tumor.

The most common symptoms of an acoustic neuroma are hearing loss in one ear and a sensation of fullness often associated with tinnitus, or head noise.
