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 series of tests, including ear exams, hearing tests and a CT scan or MRI (preferred), are performed to determine if an acoustic neuroma is present. Treatment for acoustic neuromas may consist of surgery to remove all or part of the tumor or radiation treatment to slow or stop the tumor from growing.
