Hello!

Around 3 years ago now I was diagnosed with something called Acoustic Neuroma which is basically a small tumour that is sitting on your ear that makes you off balance and the ringing in the ear is like a drill going off constantly. As mine is still small they decided to just watch and see if it grows which it has a little only. So now I have been having so many MRI like every 6 months and they are expensive as they are not free they are like $450 a pop and I have had like 5 of them already I just wish and hope that it does not grow any bigger as the operation or Radition they use you could lose some of your hearing

  • Sorry to hear you’re in this position ! How is it now ? Hope it doesn’t progress further ! xx


  • So sorry to hear. Can you possibly have the mris through public hospital to try and appease the cost?


  • I can only offer you the comfort that my son is profoundly deaf; it is hard, but he can function effectively.


  • Wow. I have never heard of this before but feel so sorry that you have all the expense of MRI testing. I wish you all the very best and hope things get better for you.


  • My sympathy for your very difficult situation.


  • Gosh you poor thing it sounds horrendous and expensive. I hope you are able to find a solution
