The incidence and characteristics of postoperative tinnitus were analyzed on 83 cases of otitis media. Tinnitus occurred in a total of 14% of these cases. Sensorineural hearing loss was not associated with this symptom. The most prominent pitch of the patients' tinnitus varied. In half of the cases, tinnitus disappeared spontaneously within 3 months.
