A study was done on 41 patients to compare the use of the Walkman Mini-stereo system with different types of phones to mask tinnitus, by using music, or relaxation or different bands of noise similar to those generated by a tinnitus masker or pure tone, and it was found that the Walkman Mini-stereo system with any types of phone, was as effective, and more economic, both to patients and to the N.H.S., than traditional tinnitus maskers. It should be recommended for the management of tinnitus in preference to the traditional tinnitus maskers.
一项针对41名患者的研究，比较了使用带有不同类型耳机的索尼随声听迷你立体声系统，通过播放音乐、放松音乐或与耳鸣掩蔽器或纯音产生的类似不同频段噪声来掩盖耳鸣的效果。结果发现，搭配任何类型耳机的索尼随声听迷你立体声系统，对患者和英国国民医疗服务体系（NHS）而言，都与传统耳鸣掩蔽器同样有效且更经济。相较于传统耳鸣掩蔽器，推荐使用该系统来管理耳鸣。
