How would I join your group? I had an AN removed 6-8-2018. I just celebrated my year anniversary. I had my surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Md. I lost hearing in my right ear. I have hearing aides now. The one hearing aide tells my other ear what it hears. It is very challenging some days. I am thankful to come through the surgery, and also for the challenges I endure daily while still being alive.Balance and headaches seem to be the lasting symptoms that come and go.My name is Vicki.

Hi all. I am coming up on my 2 year anniversary on 6-8-2020. I've noticed more headaches and dizziness from sudden movement. The barometric pressure has a big influence on my brain. Bad weather days makes for bad days for me.Being around several people make it difficult to hear what people are saying. Many conversations are not heard therefore I don't participate. Sometimes I have to tell customers to repeat what they say.It can be frustrating to them and me. The area where incision was is still sensitive 2 years later. I try to be upbeat but there are days when I long for what I used to have. Hearing in both ears and no balance issues. I'm thankful to still be here. Anyone else out there still have struggle days?
Please don't let me scare or discourage anyone who may be facing An Acoustic Neuroma surgery. It was challenging during rehabilitation and daily living. Through it all it was worth everything I went through to still be here for my adult Son and Daughter. I miss my husband but I know He is watching over me from Heaven.
