There are different types of brain tumours but a specific type of brain tumour called an acoustic neuroma, sometimes referred to as a vestibular schwannoma or neurilemoma is a benign tumour that develops from the lining of the auditory nerve or the acoustic nerve which is responsible for balance and hearing. They are most likely to be found in middle aged adults. It is more common in women than in men for unknown reasons.
General signs of a brain tumour are headaches, tiredness, lack of energy and changes in personality are rarely seen in people with an acoustic neuroma. The common symptom of it is loss of hearing in the affected ear, accompanied by a buzzing or ringing noise. Usually people who have this type of brain tumour affect both sides of the brain.
