A Comparison of Variability among Measurements of Subjective Tinnitus and Objective Stimuli

8 patients with subjective tinnitus were trained in pitch-matching, loudness-matching, and simultaneous-masking tasks using narrow-band noise and/or pure-tone stimuli. Extensive pitch-matching, loudness-matching and masking measurements were then obtained for their tinnitus, after which the same measurements were obtained for objective stimuli which approximated the frequency and intensity of the tinnitus. Variability for pitch and loudness...
