Hi --
I had 30 Radiation Treatments last year for a 3CC Acoustic Neuroma. Treatments went well until this year. I have loss of hearing in my Left ear since I was a child. Now, my Right ear has always been my strong ear. I knew that something was wrong last year with my Right ear, because I lost all of my hearing in that ear.
Starting in February of this year, I have had echoing in my AN ear - driving me crazy. I have had a repeat MRI and no change. In the last 3 weeks --- I have lost most of my hearing in that ear. I am very upset. My Oncologist is sending me to the "U of M" for another opinion. I will be see Dr Samuel Levine.
My question is ---- have any of you heard of him??? Thanks

Patt,
Sorry for the slow reply. I met with Dr. Levine and Haines at the U last fall for a second opiniion. Dr. Levine is very respected and comes highly recommended. He has great bedside manner. I eventually chose to work with Mayo based on reputation. All things being equal I prefer to keep everything close to home.
Best of luck.
