10 Symptoms of a Acoustic Neuroma
Symptom #2: Tinnitus
Tinnitus or ringing of the ears refers to the perception of sound when no external sound is present. While ringing is a popular way to describe the sound, some patients have also reported different sounds such as clicking, hissing, roaring, and buzzing. The sound can be low pitched or high pitched, soft or loud, and be present in one or both ears.
While most patients are able to cope with tinnitus, in some cases, it can also cause anxiety, depression, and interference with concentration. Common causes of tinnitus include brain tumors, Meniere’s disease, ear infections, emotional stress, head injury, and earwax. It is also one of the main symptoms seen in patients with acoustic neuroma.
