I was diagnosed with an Acoustic Neuroma in January 2010, after my GP referred me for a hearing test, when  the use of ear drops over several months did not improve my hearing.

I was referred to QE Hospital initially & advised to Watch & Wait, but after a further MRI showed my AN was growing, I asked for a second opinion at the National Centre at Sheffield, & was offered Gamma Knife treatment six weeks later, in March 2011.
