Extract

Otologic surgeons have long searched for a predictable surgical procedure for the control of tinnitus, but without success. Yet periodically, surgical procedures employed primarily for other purposes serendipitously produce relief of associated tinnitus. An effort will be made to study this aspect of tinnitus. The recent literature on the subject will be surveyed briefly. The effect upon tinnitus in 332 patients by the use of various neurotologic surgical procedures, performed primarily for other purposes, will be presented and discussed.
