Curious about tinnitus and acoustic neuromas - Will an MRI be effective in detecting a tumor? I have symptoms that correlate with this diagnosis. Thank you!!

Hi @katahdin, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Perhaps you could tell me a little bit more about your symptoms so I can connect you with other members like you. It sounds like you have a suspicion that you might have an acoustic neuroma because you have developed symptoms like tinnitus. Is that right? According to Mayo Clinic, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast dye is the preferred imaging study used to diagnose acoustic neuroma.

What other symptoms do you have? Have you seen a specialist about your symptoms?
