Hearing loss is common in some cases of neurofibromatosis. This is the result of slow-growing tumors in the nerves that transmit sound from the inner ears to the brain. The symptoms will appear in the early adult years and vary in intensity. The patient will complain of a gradual hearing loss, ringing in the ears, balance difficulties, and possibly headaches.
