Acoustic neuroma, also known as vestibular schwannoma, is a noncancerous tumor that develops on the vestibulocochlear nerve, which connects the inner ear to the brain. This slow-growing tumor can affect hearing, balance, and facial sensations. If left untreated, it may lead to hearing loss, imbalance, and in rare cases, serious neurological complications. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for better outcomes.
