You all sound so knowledgable!

A website that provides a lot of useful information is the University of Pittsburgh acoustic neuroma treatment site. The web address is www.acousticneuroma.neurosurgery.pitt.edu.  It should help you ask all the right questions the next time you talk to a doctor.

Your AN is small and should be very treatable. We may sound knowledgeable now, but we all started where you are--knowing nothing, and feeling panicky. It takes time to learn about this condition, but once you do you'll feel a lot better.

nadia:
Thank you all for the information.  My AN symptoms are hearing loss and tinnitus.  It's been on-going for several years but I didn't recognize it as anything requiring investigation until my daugther entered the audiology program at the University of Washington and insisted that I have an audiogram and MRI.  Lucky to have kids!  I am 55 but will not rush into anything.  Does anyone have any experience with treatment in Michigan?

Battyp:
nadia have you lost all your hearing or do you still have serviceable hearing?  The reason I ask is because within 4 mos after my symtpoms started I lost my serviceable hearing and by the time they actually diagnosed me I was completely deaf.  That is the downside to waiting.  You're tumor is small so don't rush into making a decision but if you are not comfortable with waiting be an adovcate for yourself!
