Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have an acoustic neuroma in my right ear. Over the last several years I have had several MRI's, and a cyber knife radiation procedure to help shrink the tumor. The surgeon doesn't want to operate because of resulting total hearing loss. My question is ... I have tried a hearing aid in the affected ear and didn't notice any difference. The audiologist said my left ear is currently carrying the load for both ears and if I continue to wear the aid, eventually it will help and all will be balanced out.
Is this correct or does a hearing aid do little to help? Thanks you. Pat W.
