A 51-year-old man complains of right-sided hearing loss over the past 10 months

A 51-year-old man complains of persisent right-sided hearing loss over the past 10 months. Cranial nerve examination is notable for reduced hearing on the right. Weber’s test localises to the left, and Rinne’s test reveals that air conduction is better than bone conduction bilaterally. He also reports an occasional feeling of “tingling” on the right side of his face.
