Tinnitus induced by tones.

S Kemp, I D Plaisted

    Journal of Speech and Hearing Research
    |March 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Intense pure tones can induce temporary tinnitus in individuals with normal hearing. The tinnitus loudness initially rises then fades within 90 seconds, with duration varying by tone frequency.

    Area of Science:

    • Audiology
    • Neuroscience
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Tinnitus is a common auditory perception.
    • Understanding tinnitus mechanisms is crucial for developing effective treatments.
    • Artificial induction of tinnitus in controlled settings aids research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the characteristics of induced tinnitus.
    • To explore the relationship between inducing tone parameters and tinnitus perception.
    • To examine temporary threshold shift (TTS) in relation to induced tinnitus.

    Main Methods:

    • Monaural presentation of intense pure tones to 11 normally hearing subjects.
    • Subjects matched the loudness of induced tinnitus to a comparison noise.
    • Tinnitus duration and peak level were recorded.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Temporary threshold shift (TTS) was measured using pulsed noise.

    • Main Results:

    • Induced tinnitus faded within approximately 90 seconds.
    • Tinnitus peak level correlated with inducing tone level but not duration or frequency.
    • Tinnitus duration showed a positive relationship with inducing tone frequency.
    • Temporary threshold shift (TTS) typically occurred after tinnitus cessation.
    • Significant individual variability in tinnitus duration was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Artificial tinnitus exhibits distinct loudness and duration profiles.
    • Tinnitus characteristics are influenced by specific acoustic parameters.
    • Further research is needed to understand individual differences in tinnitus perception and duration.
