Anyone else diagnosed with acoustic neuroma, a benign brain tumor?

Well.. healing is slow for me and its hard to have to take a step back in life. Some reason my right side of my brain just isnt compensating for left side yet. Learning to be patient is huge for me because i was determined to go back to work right after surgery. I work for Aldi and if anyone has been to an Aldi, ya know we have to work at fast pace and unload trucks. So, because of no light duty there, im off work until i can perform my job. Long story short is. Almost 5 months out and im still hanging in there but im determined to get back someday

Thank you for sharing. I had surgery in June 2018. Lost hearing in right ear. Got Phonak hearing aides. Right aide tells left side what it hears. I'll hear sounds and not know where it's coming from. Life has certainly changed for me. Lots of dizzy floating days.. Through everything I am thankful to still be here. Things that used to be fun, seem to be a struggle at times. Went back to work 3 days a week. 4-5 hour shifts. Energy level has been affected. Really wish I had someone to share these symptoms with who has experienced them as well. Some days the balance can be a real struggle. Is it possible to have symptoms worse than ones from the beginning. I have had good days, don't get me wrong. I refuse to let this new way of life defeat me.
