Can acoustic neuromas be prevented?

You cannot prevent acoustic neuromas from developing. But you can reduce your risk of complications by paying attention to how you feel and function. If you notice any symptoms such as hearing loss, dizziness or ringing in your ears, don’t dismiss your concerns.

Talk to your healthcare provider who can perform a full diagnosis and get to the bottom of your symptoms. The earlier an acoustic neuroma is detected, the better the chances for full tumor removal and hearing preservation.
