Acoustic Neuroma - MedlinePlus
An acoustic neuroma is a benign tumor that develops on the nerve that connects the ear to the brain. The tumor usually grows slowly. As it grows, it presses against the hearing and balance nerves. At first, you may have no symptoms or mild symptoms.

Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery - Hopkins Medicine
Acoustic neuromas (vestibular schwannomas) are benign Schwann cell tumors that typically arise from the vestibular portion of the eighth cranial nerve. The acoustic neuroma is the most common tumor of the cerebellopontine angle.

Acoustic Neuroma - Mayfield Clinic
An acoustic neuroma is a tumor that grows from the nerves responsible for balance and hearing. More accurately called vestibular schwannoma, these tumors grow from the sheath covering the vestibulocochlear nerve.

Acoustic Neuroma
Acoustic neuromas, also known as "acoustics" or vestibular schwannomas, are non-malignant tumors of the 8th cranial nerve. Most commonly they arise from the covering cells (Schwann cells) of the inferior vestibular nerve.

Acoustic Neuroma: Background, History of the Procedure, Epidemiology
Acoustic neuromas are intracranial, extra-axial tumors that arise from the Schwann cell sheath investing either the vestibular or cochlear nerve. As acoustic neuromas increase in size, they eventually occupy a large portion of the cerebellopontine angle.

Vestibular Schwannoma - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
A vestibular schwannoma is a benign primary intracranial tumor of the myelin-forming cells of the vestibulocochlear nerve (8th cranial nerve). A type of schwannoma, this tumor arises from the Schwann cells responsible for the myelin sheath that helps keep peripheral nerves insulated.
