Empirical tests for a relation between tinnitus and spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs) have been previously presented (Penner & Burns, 1987). Modification of these tests, however, is necessary for the special case reported here in which a female subject has tinnitus consisting of an annoying SOAE in the right ear and tinnitus unrelated to SOAEs in the left ear. This case is of interest because it provides a forum for extending the tests of Penner and Burns (1987) and because the extended tests can be used to prove that one subject's tinnitus can have two distinct sources.
之前已经给出了关于耳鸣与自发性耳声发射（SOAE）之间关系的实证测试（彭纳和伯恩斯，1987年）。然而，对于此处报告的特殊情况，有必要对这些测试进行修改。在该特殊情况中，一名女性受试者右耳存在由恼人的SOAE构成的耳鸣，而左耳的耳鸣与SOAE无关。这个案例很有意思，因为它为扩展彭纳和伯恩斯（1987年）的测试提供了一个平台，并且因为扩展后的测试可用于证明一名受试者的耳鸣可能有两个不同的来源。
