Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The gap detection test results in a minimum audible gap that a subject can hear. This minimum audible gap is referred to as the gap detection threshold. The main study outcome is the difference between the gap detection thresholds of both subject groups.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
A secondary hypothesis is that gap detection in humans is more impaired at sound frequencies close to the tinnitus frequency as compared to frequencies that are further away. The relation between gap detection impairment and the tinnitus frequency is a secondary outcome of this study.	—
