Causes of Acoustic Neuroma. What exactly causes acoustic neuroma is unknown. Certain risk factors -- such as age and a family history of neurofibromatosis type 2 -- may make a person more likely to develop this condition. However, people with risk factors do not always get acoustic neuroma, and people without risk factors can get it as well.
A neuroma occurs after a nerve is partially or completely disrupted by an injury â either due to a cut, a crush, or an excessive stretch. The neuroma is a ball-shaped mass at the site of the injury, which can be painful or cause a tingling sensation if tapped or if pressure is applied.
