Nine (75%) of the patients presented with pulsatile tinnitus.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Seven patients (58%) underwent surgical excision of the middle ear component of the paraganglioma. Tumors extending to the jugular foramen were purposely not resected. Five patients (45%) had relative or absolute contraindications to surgical resection and were treated with observation or primary radiation therapy. Post\u2010treatment audiometric evaluation confirmed stable or improved hearing. Pulsatile tinnitus resolved in all patients.
