Description: FauquierENT.net - In about 7% of patients with significant hearing loss on just one side compared to the other, a non-cancerous and slow growing tumor has developed on the main nerve leading from the inner ear to the brain. Known as an acoustic neuroma or vestibular schwannoma, pressure from the tumor on the nerve itself leads to an initial progressive hearing loss. As the tumor gets larger causing greater nerve compression and/or stretching, it may cause tinnitus, dizziness, and eventually even facial paralysis.
