Hello,
I had this surgery in Sept 1987 when I was 30
Since I still have some paralysis on my left side. My left eye tears up when I eat, I also lost hearing in left ear. When I had that severe Bells Palsy look, I used to cover up my normal side and tell everyone this is my serious side. Your very pretty and I believe you have a good attitude.
Keep up the good work

HI---I have 2 ANs---one side is 4 cm and other is 2 cm. I was diagnosed in 93 and with yearly monitoring have had no growth. Don't just jump on surgery as every case is different. I posted my MRI scan on youtube for others to reference.
Best of luck.

I mostly miss the use of my eye. Having an acoustic neuroma was the hardest thing I've ever gone through and I truly feel for anyone who has had to go through this torment!

I totally understand how it feels. I am 24-years-old and I also had an acoustic neuroma removed in December of 2004, while attending college. Besides the hearing loss and buzzing sound my face is also partially paralized. I don't smile the way I used to, but I guess the important thing is that we are alive and can still have some influence in the world.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING THIS FILM:
My AN situation was urgent due to the location, size and life-threatening symptoms. Acoustic neuromas are difficult to predict. It is not typical to receive news of possible death due to the tumor,as I was intially told. Symptoms continued to manifest at an alarming rate that landed me in the ER and made surgery impairative. Please seek medical advice through a SPECIALIST dealing with AN. Best of health and life!

I had an AN removed in 1997, I was 17 at the time. Unfortunately, I too had a very large tumor which was pushing against my brainstem. I had surgery 2 weeks after being diagnosed. Surgery left me with no hearing on my right side and severe facial paralysis. I am grateful everyday for the people I have in my life and the life I am able to live. But, I struggle everyday to cope with the way that I look. I am amazed to see how wonderful you look in your video and would appreciate any suggestions.
