Hearing tests: Almost all acoustic neuromas are associated with hearing loss, but other neurological signs may be found on exam, including problems with gait, facial sensation, and double vision. Diagnosis can be confirmed, or excluded, by careful MRI films of the base of the brain.

The big 4: 1. History
2. Physical examination
3. Audiometry
4. Mri brain scanning (with special sequences)
specialists most likely to help you would be ENT and neurology. If tumor is discovered, consider also seeing neurosurgeon.
