Hi, I was wondering if any of those diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma had any of the following symptoms before being diagnosed, maybe even a long time before being diagnosed. Thanks!
1. Unilateral Tinnitus that decreased in volume over several months, but was/is 24/7
2. Tensor tympani syndrome/muscle spasms in ear (occasional fluttering/thumping in 1 ear when hearing some sounds or burping/yawning)
3. Decreased evoked otoacoustic emissions in 1 ear.

I had tinnitus for long time before being diagnosed. It was not high in volume and it varied. At first I did not recognize it as tinnitus. I thought I was hearing static. I did not experience the other symptoms you listed.

Hey Enri,
1. Yeah I had something like this. I had really intermittent tinnitus which appeared then completely resolved, then fluctuated for quite awhile. The type changed a lot as well - started high frequency, then low frequency, then pulsatile. Now, it's 24/7
2. Yes. I also have this. The fluttering / thumping is familiar with me. Internal ear air pressure changes definitely cause interesting symptoms - in my case, gaze disturbances / a little disequilibrium.
3. I'm not sure what this means, sorry
