Acoustic neuroma is a type of turmor that is formed from myelin cells, known as schwann cells. Individuals who have acoustic neuroma will often have balance problems, vertigo, and unilateral sensorineural hearing loss/deafness. Approximately, 3000 cases of acoustic neuromas are diagnosed yearly in the United States. Acoustic neuroma most often affects individuals when they reach their fifties and sixties and typically affects both sexes equally. About 80% of individuals diagnosed with acoustic neuroma also experience high pitched ringing known as tinnitus. Treatment options for individuals with acoustic neuroma most often involves surgical procedures and radiation therapy. However, treatment options provide significant risks to the individual. For example, surgery may damage facial nerves or an individual's steadiness may never be 100% again. Radiation may also severely damage hearing in the affected ear.
