Tinnitus (ringing in the ear) accompanied by a falling or spinning sensation and facial numbness is an indication of which condition? Correct Answer Acoustic neuroma
An acoustic neuroma is a benign tumor that occurs anywhere along the vestibulocochlear nerve (acoustic nerve), which originates in the ear and serves the organs of equilibrium and hearing. Early symptoms include tinnitus (ringing in the ear) and sometimes dizziness. When the tumor pushes against the brain or brainstem, facial numbness and headache can result.
