Hearing test: Request a hearing test from an Audiologist and this may lead to a diagnosis. Watch for fever, signs of infection such as drainage from the ears.

Hearing loss: I would certainly would not put neuroma or malignancy high of the differential diagnosis list for mild hearing loss on audiogram & the sound you hear in your right ear. A lot of information can be obtained from examination of the ear - such as - is there fluid behind the tympanic membrane that could be causing symptoms. I would start with your PCM.

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?

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?

Nasopharyngeal tumor abt 7 yrs ago. Presently, I have mild hearing loss in both ears. Still have feeling of fullness/being under water in right ear. Valsalva Technique helps. Could this feeling of being under water right ear be from this tumor?
