| Popis: | OBJECTIVE: The objective of this research was to investigate the possible relationship between tinnitus and certain bony inner ear structures using computed tomography (CT). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a prospective, controlled, double-blind study. The subjects of the study were divided into the following three groups: group 1 (G1), patients with unilateral sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and unilateral non-pulsatile tinnitus in the same ear; group 2 (G2), patients with normal hearing and unilateral non-pulsatile tinnitus; and group 3 (G3), healthy volunteers with neither tinnitus nor hearing loss. The basal turn length, internal acoustic canal (IAC) width and length, bony cochlear nerve canal (BCNC) width, and IAC diameter at the porus acousticus internus (PAI) were measured. RESULTS: The mean BCNC width was significantly narrower in G1 and G2 than in the control group (G3) (p |
