Abstract
Subjects were exposed in one ear for 5 min to 1 3 ‐ oct band noise centered at either 2, 3, 4, or 6 kHz at 110 dB SPL. The resulting aftersensation, called “noise‐induced short‐duration tinnitus” (NIST) was matched for pitch and loudness in the nonstimulated ear. It was found that the pitch of NIST bears a constant relation to the frequency of the stimulus and that the difference between the equivalent frequency of NIST and the frequency of maximum threshold shift was equivalent to one critical band.Keywords
