No one short of an Otolyrngologist that is WELL VERSED ON THE SUBJECT, Symptoms, characteristics and area effected inside your head as the sheer size of this monster increases and the severity level mounts! I was 54 when mine was even diagnosed and have seen so many specialists, otolyrngologists that never knew much less diagnosed. It takes that special Otolyrngologist and then he ordered a CT scan to be sure.

Usually it can be diagnosed by a hearing test and examination and then a MRI.

Mine was diagnosed using both an extensive view of my ear with a large microscope through a hole in my ear drum and with an MRI and CT scan.

CT scans seem to work well today; some specialized facilities have a special one for C-tomas (Weill Cornell, NYC). If this is NOT your 1st C-toma and your intuition is telling you IT'S BACK, ADVOCATE for yourself! Doctors DO NOT always know what the patient does!
Use the Castle Connolly Directory, or if you are in a major city research 'Top Docs', 'NY best doctors', 'Best doctors in America', etc. (most of these lists, found in your local area magazine, are taken from Castle Connolly). Find a NEUROTOLOGIST not Otolaryngologist. Be sure they are at an EXCELLENT hospital too! ASK how they handle you when you wake up in recovery if you are in pain. Is there an Anesthesiologist there to quickly administer pain meds? I had 4 surgeries; my 1st at a BAD facility; probably with my BEST surgeon....I would not return for operation #2, their recovery dept. S*&Ked!

Through an Ear nose and throat specialist, sometimes a general practitioner too... but will be confirmed by scans

Sometimes it is visible through the ear canal but a CT scan or MRI are used for final diagnosis

Can be a long road until you find a knowledgeable specialist who know what they are doing in this somewhat unknown field of medicine

It's diagnosed by an MRI or a CT Scan being done at the request of the patient's ENT.
