 ==Symptoms==
 Symptoms depend on the location of the tumor.
-Unilateral/asymmetric hearing loss and/or [[tinnitus]] and loss of balance/[[dizziness]] are early signs of a vestibular schwannoma. Unfortunately, early detection of the tumor is sometimes difficult because the symptoms may be subtle and may not appear in the beginning stages of growth. Also, [[hearing loss]], [[dizziness]], and [[tinnitus]] are common symptoms of many middle and inner ear problems (the important point here is that unilateral or asymmetric symptoms are the worrisome ones).
