Recognized loss of hearing on one side, then audiologist recognized something wrong. MRI revealed it. Received Gamma Knife treatment. I have a significant hearing loss in that ear. Tumor has been shrinking. Did some physical therapy for balance. Would love to know of support group. egolightly

Hello @estherhg and welcome to Mayo Connect.

I appreciate your joining this discussion as we all learn from each other's experiences. I am glad to hear of your treatment and that the tumor is shrinking as a result of the Gamma Knife treatment. How long ago was this treatment? Does your doctor think that your hearing will improve now that the tumor is shrinking?

You mentioned that you would like a support group and I found one website that discussed different groups. Here is a link to the website where you can learn more about that http://vestibular.org/acoustic-neuroma.

I look forward to hearing from you again.

Teresa
