Hello,
I wonder if there are any medical professionals who have an opinion on scuba diving with an acoustin neuroma. I was diagnosed a few years ago in my mid twenties with a unilateral "medium sized" AN. I decided not to have surgery and had radiation treatment instead.
I've been unbale to find anyone who can tell me if diving is dangerous. My consultant said that there was no reason why it should be a problem, but he wasn't too sure. I have recently qualified as a diver (PADI OW advanced) and experienced no problems, even at depths of 30m. I'm very careful with equalizing, as I only have one good ear left!
