“…Acoustic neuromas contribute to a decline in hearing on the affected side (Foley et al, 2017), tinnitus, vertigo, difficulty with balance or facial numbness (Mooney et al, 2017), as well as fatigue, eye issues and headaches (Brooker et al, 2013). Additionally, acoustic neuromas can compress the brainstem and lead to hydrocephalus (Campione et al, 2019). Despite being non-malignant, acoustic neuroma tumours can severely impact a patient's well-being and can be life threatening (Nikolopoulos et al, 2009(Nikolopoulos et al, [1998).…”

Research on the impact of caring for patients with an acoustic neuroma is scarce. Findings from 12 interviews with primary carers of this patient population highlight six key themes: life disruption, support, well-being, the carer role, lessons learned and the impact of COVID-19. Carers need more practical information and emotional support, starting from the diagnosis stage through to recovery. Recommendations include routine carer assessments, early signposting to auxiliary services and information materials about recovery. This study contributes to the UK literature gap of this under-studied population and demonstrates the importance of carer assessments, as set out in the Carers Act 2014.
