Hearing loss linked to rare tumor

Hearing loss, ringing in your ear, unexplained dizziness.

Many people might think it’s just the typical signs of aging, but for some, these are signs of a tumor.

They’re called acoustic neuromas, and although rare, they can be life-changing, even life-threatening.

Acoustic neuromas are caused by the overproduction of Schwann cells in the nervous system.

Depending on the size of the tumor, patients have three options: wait and watch to see if the tumor grows, radiation and surgery.

Surgery is the only option that will guarantee no more hearing will be lost.
