Loss of hearing, tinnitus, and vertigo
<h3>What is acoustic neuroma?</h3>
The major nerve (vestibular) that connects your inner ear to your brain might develop a noncancerous growth called an acoustic neuroma, also known as a vestibular schwannoma. The pressure from an acoustic neuroma can cause hearing loss, ringing in the ears, and unsteadiness. Branches of this nerve directly affect your balance and hearing.
Schwann cells that cover this nerve give rise to acoustic neuromas, which often grow slowly or not at all. Rarely, it may develop quickly and enlarge to the point where it presses against the brain and causes vital functions to be disrupted.
Typical symptoms of an acoustic neuroma include hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo attacks, and stumbling gait. Loss of eyesight, increased salt retention, or tachycardia are not side effects of acoustic neuromas.
