Symptoms of acoustic neuroma occur when tumors grow large enough to press on neighboring nerves, blood vessels and brain tissue.
Your doctor will likely conduct a hearing exam after assessing your symptoms and conducting a physical exam. You will then undergo an MRI test to confirm a diagnosis of acoustic neuroma.
Specialty neuroradiologists at Miami Cancer Institute use the latest MRI technology to create detailed images of the brain and tumors affecting the brain. A contrast dye is injected into a vein to create a clearer picture of your brain and the tumor. You feel no pain during the exam, but you may be given a sedative before the procedure to help you relax.
