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.
Symptoms of acoustic neuroma may include: Tinnitus in one or both ears; approximately 7% of people with this brain tumor also have tinnitus. Hearing loss is evident in 9% of sufferers. Vertigo, which is also comorbid with tinnitus, is also a symptom of brain tumor. Facial pain, numbness, or tingling occurs in 25% of people suffering from acoustic neuroma.
