Acoustic neuromas or schwanomas are one of the most common tumors to affect the internal auditory canal. When tumors are found in this area, the patient usually has symptoms such as hearing loss, balance issues, or possible facial tingling. The compression on the cranial nerves from the tumor depending on the size and exact location will determine how many symptoms or how bad they become. The most commony used treatments are radiation and surgery.
