Objective tinnitus originates from the para-auditory structures of the head and neck and can be heard or documented by examiner. Three representative forms of objective tinnitus, according to the causal organs are myoclonic tinnitus, vascular tinnitus and tinnitus caused by the patulous Eustachian tube. Etiologies, pathologic mechanisms, diagnostic approaches, and proper treatment methods of objective tinnitus are comprehensively discussed with a review of literatures. Objective tinnitus can be cured in many cases. Clinicians need to be well aware of the clinical characteristics of objective tinnitus since early, correct diagnosis with proper management are mandatory for its cure.

The patulous eustachian tube is not a common otorhinolaryngological disease, for which a standard therapy is not established yet. It is considered benign, but symptoms affecting the patient should not be overlooked or ignored. Using an acellular dermal graft (Collagen), we gained positive results in treating a patient, and thus report this case with a review of the literature.

Patulous Eustachian tube is a benign, but bothersome condition, which can cause severe physical and psychological problems. We investigated the clinical features and the therapeutic result of the surgery in three patients, whose patulous Eustachian tube symptom were treated by the surgical insertion of a specially designed, tripod-tipped-bone wax-filled angiocatheter into the bony orifice of the Eustachian tube. Immediate disappearance of the troublesome symptoms was observed in all six patients. No serious complications were observed during the follow-up period. Factors considered for this surgical therapy and the method of designing our specific angiocatheter are introduced in detail. Surgical therapy for patients with serious patulous Eustachian tube symptoms by inserting the tripod-tipped-bone wax-filled angiocatheter seemed promising. Further studies on its long-term therapeutic effects might be necessary using a large number of the patients.
