An acoustic neuroma (or schwannoma) is a benign tumor which manifests itself on the sheath surrounding the eighth cranial nerve, affecting the functions of the inner ear. Because many of the symptoms are also indicative of other less serious ailments, acoustic neuromas are often misdiagnosed or undetected.

If untreated, an acoustic neuroma is life-threatening, making it imperative that individuals with persistent inner-ear problems be evaluated to eliminate the possibility of an acoustic neuroma.

Donations to ANAC

The Acoustic Neuroma Association of Canada is a small, national organization powered by volunteer energy from individuals and families affected by acoustic neuroma.

We provide services available nowhere else:

  • comprehensive information about treatment options and outcomes plus rehabilitative strategies
  • literature that deals with widely varied post-operative deficits like facial nerve paralysis, deafness, dry eye, balance problems, headache and swallowing
  • education to promote public awareness and accurate diagnosis by the medical community
  • a national support network
  • a quarterly newsletter called The Connection
  • advocacy through the National Voluntary Health Organization to Health Canada

ANAC has assisted hundreds of people in making decisions critical to their lives. We help them get the post-operative support and education they need to move on. This vitally important work can only continue with help from our supporters.

The organization depends primarily on donations from concerned people such as you to continue its work. Please help us continue to help AN patients and donate today. We depend on YOU.
