Why?

VA found a 2.8mm neuroma in my left canal but my hearing loss is in the right ear. Any reason why this should occur?

I have the same situation, AN on right side but hearing loss on left. My neurosurgeon said the hearing loss on the left is not related to the AN. I had a strange blocked feeling in my right ear which led to the MRI and the AN was discovered. I’m currently on watch and wait, next scan is September.

Hope this helps

thanks Finn, I will not see my neuro for another week. I also am looking at watching and waiting as my AN is not very large.
