Is acoustic neuroma painful?

No: Typically the main complaint people have if they have an acoustic neuroma (vestibular schwannoma) is hearing loss and/or tinnitus (ringing in the ear). Only if it is particularly large will patients complain of headaches.

No: Almost never causes pain; if very large, can cause numbness over the face though.
