Support and advocacy for Acoustic Neuroma (Vestibular Schwannoma) and hearing loss (especially single sided deafness)


Podcast Episode 9: Betty’s Story

In this episode Betty shares her incredible story when she was diagnosed as a surprise while looking into dental concerns.  Betty chose radiation to treat her 2.2 cm acoustic neuroma as she is a professional musician and wanted to retain her hearing if possible. She had wonderful treatment results and kept all of her hearing! Betty navigated balance struggles as well as other symptoms. Throughout her entire journey the Acoustic Neuroma Association remained an incredibly important resource and support.

  1. I was diagnosed with an AN a little over two years ago and had the Gamma Knife procedure at Rochester in April. What a relief for me to find your site! It validates so many things I have struggled with during this journey. Thank you!! Kathy
