Overview
Symptoms of acoustic neuroma include hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, headaches, facial weakness, facial numbness and tingling, dizziness, taste changes, difficulty swallowing and hoarseness and, confusion.[1][2]
History and Symptoms
Symptoms and signs of Acoustic neuroma considerably dependent on the size of tumor, for instance, generalized headache occurs in less than 20% of patients with small acoustic tumors (less than 2cm), although it can occur in 43 to 75% of patients with tumor over 4cm in diameter.[3] In table 1 and table 2 there are information about the frequency of major symptoms and signs and cranial nerve disturbances respectively. [4]
Cranial nerve
Cranial nerve disturbances was related to the Cochlear nerve and Trigeminal nerve. The Facial nerve disturbances occurs in more sever cases.

| Nerve | Symptop\sign | Frequency |
| V | Trigeminal nerve disturbance | Commonly seen |
| VI | Abduction disorder | rarely seen |
| VII | Facial nerve disturbance | Occasionally seen |
| VIII | Hearing deficits | Mostly seen |
| VIII | Vestibular disturbance | Occasionally seen |
| IX-XII | Caudal cranial nerve deficits | Seldom seen |
