The Acoustic Neuroma Association was founded in Carlisle, PA in 1981 by Virginia Fickel Ehr. She found no patient information or patient support available when she had surgery for the removal of an acoustic neuroma in 1977. She resolved that future acoustic neuroma patients should have easy-to-read medical material about their condition and support and comfort from each other.
With assistance from a number of leading surgeons and patient volunteers, ANA was incorporated in 1981 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The patient-focused organization now serves nearly 5,000 members including acoustic neuroma patients, family members, friends, and health care professionals providing information regarding all treatment types.
