    This study introduces a computer-interfaced tinnitus synthesizer to characterize subjective tinnitus. The system helps determine tinnitus type and loudness, aiding in suitability assessments for masking therapy.

    Area of Science:

    • Audiology
    • Otoacoustic Emissions
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Subjective tinnitus is a prevalent auditory disorder impacting quality of life.
    • Accurate characterization of tinnitus perception is crucial for effective treatment.
    • Existing methods for tinnitus assessment may lack precision or versatility.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel, computer-interfaced tinnitus synthesizer for detailed characterization of subjective tinnitus.
    • To enable patients to actively participate in matching their tinnitus perception.
    • To evaluate the system's utility in guiding therapeutic decisions, particularly for masking therapy.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a purpose-built tinnitus synthesizer connected to a computer.
    • Patient interaction via a hand-held box with push buttons for guided matching.

  • System capabilities include matching tonal, noise-based, and combined tinnitus sounds.
  • Synchronous pulsing of sounds to match pulsatile tinnitus.

    • Main Results:

    • The system successfully characterizes various types of subjective tinnitus, including tonal, noise, and combined sounds.
    • It accurately matches tinnitus loudness and frequency based on patient input.
    • Pulsatile tinnitus can be matched by synchronizing sound with the patient's pulse.
    • The system provides objective data on tinnitus characteristics.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed tinnitus synthesizer is effective for characterizing diverse subjective tinnitus profiles.
    • It offers a patient-centric approach to tinnitus assessment.
    • The system's output is valuable for determining patient suitability for masking therapy.
