What kind of tumors cause tinnitus?
Noise in the Ear (Tinnitus)
Tinnitus is a very common symptom of acoustic neuromas and many other inner ear conditions. People with acoustic neuromas may experience a high-pitched tone in the ear affected by the tumor. Can a benign tumor cause tinnitus? An acoustic neuroma is a noncancerous or benign tumor that affects the nerves running from the inner ear to the brain. It stops the nerves that are responsible for hearing and balance from working properly, resulting in hearing loss and tinnitus, or ringing in the ears.
