Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Acoustic Neuroma. These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
Acoustic neuroma, also called vestibular schwannoma, is a benign (non-cancerous) tumour that grows on the eighth cranial nerve responsible for hearing and balance. It almost never spreads to other parts of the body, but because it sits in a confined space near important nerves and the brainstem, even a small tumour can cause gradual hearing loss, tinnitus, or unsteadiness. There are three well-established management pathways: careful observation with regular MRI scans, stereotactic radiosurgery (a non-surgical, precisely focused radiation treatment), and microsurgical removal of the tumour. The right choice depends on tumour size and growth rate, the patient's age and general health, the level of hearing in the affected ear, and personal preferences about risk and recovery.
Regular MRI monitoring without active treatment, suitable for small stable tumours where the risks of intervention outweigh the benefit of acting immediately.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests: MRI brain and internal auditory canals with gadolinium contrast, Pure-tone audiogram and speech discrimination score, Auditory brainstem response (ABR), Videonystagmography (VNG) or caloric balance testing, CBC, blood sugar, kidney and liver function tests, ECG. Done in India before admission.
Estimated cost in India: $3,000 – $5,000
Treatment duration in India: ~7 days (~3 hospital visit days across the full span)
Precisely focused radiation beams delivered in a single session (Gamma Knife or CyberKnife) that halt tumour growth without any incision, suitable for small to medium tumours.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests: High-resolution MRI brain and internal auditory canals with gadolinium (planning scan), CT scan of skull base and temporal bones (for dose planning), Pure-tone audiogram and speech discrimination score, CBC, coagulation profile (PT/INR), Blood sugar, kidney and liver function tests, ECG and anaesthesia fitness review (if sedation needed for frame placement). Done in India before admission.
Estimated cost in India: $3,500 – $10,000
