Time patterns and related parameters in masking of tinnitus.
Masking of tinnitus by acoustic stimuli, especially the residual inhibition, which extends beyond the duration of the masking stimulus, is a dynamic process with an individual time course. Various methods for measuring residual inhibition of short, medium and long duration are presented, and their typical results are discussed.
