It is the last  option as there are higher chances of hearing loss in the ear where tumour has  grown. If the tumour is on both the sides, operation for one is done first and  based on the outcomes and hearing ability of this ear, your doctor will go ahead  with the surgical removal of tumour on the other side. Post-surgery you will  see a physiotherapist who will provide training for some exercises and massage  to help you recover faster.<\/p>\n<h3><em><u>Radiation Therapy:<\/u><\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Radiosurgery  or stereotactic radiotherapy is a preferable technique for treating acoustic  neuroma, particularly for those patients who have otherwise poor general  health, or those who are old age or those who have tumours affecting both the  ears. During the radiotherapy treatment, your doctor will use high-energy  radiations to destroy or shrink the tumour cells and stop them from growing  further. Stereotactic radiotherapy uses radiations in a way that high doses of  rays reach the tumour, while the surrounding healthy tissues receive only insignificant  number of rays. This helps in avoiding side effects of treatment.<\/p>\n<h3><em><u>Observation and Monitoring:<\/u><\/em><\/h3>\n<p>If the  tumour is too small and not growing further, it is advisable to observe and  closely monitor the tumour for any further growth. Monitoring is done through  MRI scans at certain interval suggested by your treating doctor. You should  also keep a watch on the symptoms that affect your hearing ability and  immediately inform your doctor regarding the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Acoustic
