Acoustic Neuroma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Acoustic neuroma, also called vestibular schwannoma, is a benign tumor that grows on the nerve that connects the inner ear with the brain and that takes part in hearing and balance. It usually develops slowly.
Common symptoms: gradual hearing loss in one ear, ringing, a sensation of unsteadiness or dizziness, and sometimes tingling in the face.
Which specialist treats it? The neurosurgeon is the one who evaluates this type of tumor and defines the most appropriate approach, often in coordination with other ear and nervous system specialists.
When to seek care? With hearing loss that affects only one ear or persistent ringing accompanied by imbalance, specialized evaluation is advisable; timely study helps clarify the origin of the symptoms.
