The British Acoustic Neuroma Association (BANA) was formed in 1992. BANA is organised and administered by people affected by acoustic neuroma, is a registered charity and exists for mutual support, information exchange and listening.

Aims of BANA:

• Relieve the infirmity and suffering of patients who have been diagnosed as having or have been treated for acoustic neuroma and other related disorders.
• Promote and support research and to publish the results of such research into medical, surgical and other procedures likely to lead to prevention and/or successful treatment of acoustic neuroma.
• Promote and support research and to publish the results of such research into medical, surgical and other procedures assisting the rehabilitation of patients following treatment for acoustic neuroma.

Many who face and undergo treatment for acoustic neuromas and other benign tumours involving the cranial nerves have questions, concerns and physical and emotional adjustments to make. Membership in a group of those who have had a similar experience can be helpful to patients, as well as family members and interested medical personnel.

Over 1000 members have access to:

• A national network of branches and support groups.
• A library of information and equipment.
• A quarterly magazine named "Headline News".
• Telephone Contact Register and loan of trophic stimulators.
