&lt;full-summary&gt;&lt;p&gt;Parkinson's disease is a disorder that affects
nerve cells, or neurons, in a part of the brain that controls muscle
movement. In Parkinson's, neurons that make a chemical called
dopamine die or do not work properly. Dopamine normally sends
signals that help coordinate your movements. No one knows what
damages these cells. Symptoms of Parkinson's disease may include&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Trembling of hands, arms, legs, jaw and face &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Stiffness of the arms, legs and trunk &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Slowness of
movement &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Poor balance and coordination &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;As
symptoms get worse, people with the disease may have trouble
walking, talking or doing simple tasks. They may also have problems
such as depression, sleep problems or trouble chewing, swallowing or
speaking. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Parkinson's usually begins around age 60, but it
can start earlier. It is more common in men than in women. There is
no cure for Parkinson's disease. A variety of medicines sometimes
help symptoms dramatically. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/ full-summary&gt;<br>Use on

href='https://medlineplus.gov/benigntumors.html'&gt;benign tumor&lt;/a&gt;
that develops on the nerve that connects the ear to the brain. The tumor usually grows
slowly. As it grows, it presses against the hearing and balance nerves. At first, you
may have no symptoms or mild symptoms. They can include&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;
Loss of hearing on one side &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; Ringing in ears&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;
Dizziness and balance problems&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;The tumor can also
eventually cause numbness or paralysis of the face. If it grows large enough, it can
press against the brain, becoming life-threatening.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Acoustic neuroma
can be difficult to diagnose, because the symptoms are similar to those of middle ear
problems. Ear exams, hearing tests, and scans can show if you have it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the tumor stays small, you may only need to have it checked regularly. If
you do need treatment, surgery and radiation are options.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If the
tumors affect both hearing nerves, it is often because of a genetic disorder called
&lt;a
href='https://medlineplus.gov/neurofibromatosis.html'&gt;neurofibromatosis&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
