Unclear, but...: What you have noted would not indicate the diagnosis, since there are specific criteria for the neurofibromatosis diagnosis. You should consult your local doctor who can do a complete physical examination and history for further assessment..

I had an MRI for a possible skull-based tumor..Thank God not serious. I'm now concerned about possible acoustic neuroma..hearing loss in one ear, tinnitus last weekend for couple of days..better now. Would THAT MRI show/have shown an acoustic neuroma?
Hi doctors! I had what I believe you said was tinnitus--sound of childs squeeze toy inside my right ear. The noise has subsided. I had an MRI of the skull base and brain--would that MRI show an acoustic neuroma if I had one? What else causes tinnitus?
Hi doctors. I have documented mild to moderate hearing loss in both ears but at times I still notice that I can sometimes hear better or worse out of one ear than out of the other ear--what might this be? Could it be an acoustic neuroma or a tumor?
