I have been a part of the Meningioma Mommas but there are only a few on there with this. I had surgery on 8/25/08 and my NS removed 4. He was unable to remove the M in my Saginal sinus and the four acoustic neromas I have. Now, I've been dealing with tinitus and that wasn't so bad. Now I'm experiencing blank spots of hearing loss. They don't happen all of the time just every once in a while and it only lasts for a second or two. Have any of you experienced this? Just curious because I just went through surgery and I know my NS is talking about Gamma Knife but down the road a bit. I'm already looking at a year to recover from the first surgery. Thanks for listening.

Sorry to hear of your troubles
Hard to call the exact cause of symptions
but understand that any local swelling or bruising
will cause a nerve to mis-fire (is a blood flow thing ?)
that applies to both hearing and balance
so careful with ladders and stairs for a whlie ?
Gamma maybe an option - it depends a bit
how big and where exactly the tumour is
Given the NF2 position - best to deal with docs
who have experiance with the condition
Best Regards
