Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) – It is used to confirm the presence of neuroma because it can detect tumors as small as 1-2 mm in diameter.

Computed tomography (CT)

Auditory brainstem response (ABR) – In this test the hearing sounds are directed to one ear at a time.

The audiologist presents a range of sounds of various tones and asks the patient to indicate each time when the patient hears the sound .each tones is repeated at the faint levels to find out when the patient can barely hear.
