10 Meningioma Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #3: Hearing Loss
Meningioma can develop in any part of the meninges surrounding the brain or the spinal cord. Based on the place where the tumor is located, signs and symptoms will develop. In cases when the tumor is located in the posterior fossa of the brain, hearing problems occur.
Hearing problems will progress to a permanent hearing loss if not diagnosed and treated. This results from the compression of the cranial nerves from the tumor mass which continues to grow over a long period of time. This is especially true for benign meningioma as they tend to progress slowly over many years.
