A purpose-built tinnitus synthesizer interfaced to a computer has been designed which can be used to characterize most types of subjective tinnitus. A patient is able to match his own tinnitus by making responses to simple questions using push buttons on a hand-held box. The system can be used to determine the characteristics of tinnitus consisting of tones, random noise or combinations of these sounds; any sound can also be pulsed synchronously with a patient's pulse beat in order to match pulsatile tinnitus. It is then possible to use the frequency and loudness characteristics of tinnitus in order to determine the suitability of masking therapy for a patient.
一种专门设计的与计算机相连的耳鸣综合器已被设计出来，它可用于描述大多数类型的主观性耳鸣。患者能够通过使用手持盒上的按钮对简单问题做出反应来匹配自己的耳鸣。该系统可用于确定由音调、随机噪声或这些声音组合构成的耳鸣特征；任何声音也可与患者的脉搏同步脉动，以匹配搏动性耳鸣。然后，可以利用耳鸣的频率和响度特征来确定对患者进行掩蔽治疗的适用性。
