Three cases of objective tinnitus were reported, 6-and 7-year-old boys and a 40-year-old house-wife. Their tinnitus occured involuntarily and were not ceased by pressure on the carotid artery, and they were not synchronized with the arterial pulsation. All three patients were suffering from infection of the upper respiratory tract before tinnitus begun, and there was no abnormality on the ear drums. The authors thought the tinnitus due to muscular contraction, especially of the salpingo-pharyngeal muscular. All treatments failed in the cessation of the tinnitus.
