Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Aged 18–70 years old; 2. Chief complaint of unilateral or bilateral subjective tinnitus, with predominantly stable tonal tinnitus; 3. Able to comprehend test instructions and cooperate in completing tinnitus pitch matching, loudness matching, hearing threshold tests and keypress response tasks; 4. Capable of tinnitus pitch-matching frequency (FTP) measurement, and the FTP lies within the output frequency range of the test device; 5. Otoscopic examination of the external auditory canal and tympanic membrane reveals no obvious abnormalities that would interfere with audiological testing.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Objective tinnitus, pulsatile tinnitus, or tinnitus definitely induced by vascular, myogenic and other pathogenic factors; 2. Suffering from disorders that may undermine hearing threshold stability, including acute otitis externa, otitis media, acute exacerbation of Meniere’s disease, acute-stage sudden sensorineural hearing loss, etc. 3. Previous history of otologic surgery, confirmed central nervous system disorders, or other illnesses that may disrupt auditory behavioral responses; 4.
