The Psychophysics of Tinnitus

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Tinnitus

Part of the book series: Springer Handbook of Auditory Research ((SHAR,volume 44))

Abstract

Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the absence of an external sound source. The percept can take many forms, including sounding like a single or multiple tones, hissing, buzzing, crickets, or roaring. This chapter is concerned with the perceptual properties of tinnitus as revealed using psychophysical experiments. These perceptual properties may be relevant to diagnosing the cause of tinnitus and for selection of relevant treatment options. The implications of the results for the mechanism and site of generation of the tinnitus are also considered.
