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.

I have all those symptoms and I haven't had the gamma knife surgery yet and I was told it wouldn't change anything as far as symptoms go but it should shrink the tumor. I am petrified to get worse then I am right now. I have been like this for several years but getting worse as I age.
