Abstract
Two experiments were performed in which 8 listeners used external sound to mask the tinnitus induced by a 95-dB SPL tone presented for 1 min. Wider bandwidth noises were more effective maskers than noises of critical bandwidth, which, in turn, were more effective than tonal maskers. Contralateral maskers were often effective, but less so than ipsilateral maskers. Tuning curves showed some degree of frequency specificity that was not related to the frequency of the tinnitus-inducing tone. There were consistent and pronounced differences between individual listeners. Overall, our results indicate both similarities and differences between the masking of induced tinnitus and the masking of pathological tinnitus.
