Vestibular Schwannoma treatment in Naucalpan de Juárez

A vestibular schwannoma, also known as an acoustic neuroma, is a benign tumor that develops from the cells lining the nerve responsible for hearing and balance. It grows slowly and usually affects only one side.

Common symptoms:

• Gradual hearing loss in one ear
• Ringing or noise in the ear (tinnitus)
• Dizziness or a sense of unsteadiness

When should you see a doctor? When hearing in one ear declines little by little or persistent ringing on only one side appears, an evaluation is advisable.

Which specialist evaluates it? The otolaryngologist studies these conditions of the ear and auditory nerve with specific tests. If you notice that you hear less in one ear progressively, having it checked by this professional helps clarify the cause in a timely manner.
