<span class="tumorshead">Acoustic Neuroma</span> <p>An acoustic neuroma is a tumor that forms from the covering of the eighth cranial nerve. This tumor is benign, is generally slow-growing and does not spread to other parts of the body. </p> <p>What are the symptoms of acoustic neuroma?</p> <p>The most common first symptom is hearing loss in the affected ear, which may often go unrecognized or mistaken as a normal aging-related development. As an acoustic neuroma enlarges, it may cause additional symptoms such as loss of balance, headache, unsteadiness, facial weakness, facial numbness and/or double vision.</p>
