Abstract
A 53-year-old woman suffered from objective tinnitus when she spoke. Fiberscopic examination showed that both Rosenmüller's recesses were very deep and the torus tubarius touched the posterior wall of the nasopharynx every time she pronounced a syllable. As soon as they separated, a click was heard. The click was about 100msec after the pronunciation ended and had two peaks from each Rosenmüller's recess. The peak frequency of the click was about 1kHz. We injected silicon into the posterior wall of the nasopharynx near both Rosenmüller's recesses, and the click disappeared.
