Acoustic neuromas are benign tumors that grow slowly. On average, they grow between 0.5 to 2mm in a year. Around thirty percent may not show any change in size even after five to ten years. Treatments are necessary only when the tumor is big enough to create symptoms. Till then, a 'wait and watch' policy is the best
