Although many studies have suggested that air cells may play an important role in sigmoid sinus diverticulum and/or dehiscence (SSDD)-induced pulsatile tinnitus (PT), the exact effects remain unclear. This study aims to quantitatively investigate the effect of different degrees of pneumatization of temporal bone on sound transmission from the sigmoid sinus to the tympanic cavity.
