Two cases are reported in which subjective tinnitus aurium was treated with a matching-to-sample procedure. Following baseline evaluations, the subjects' experienced tinnitus was reproduced audiometrically in terms of loudness, frequency, and quality. This was presented to them in the noninvolved ear and was gradually reduced within sessions. The subjects were required to concentrate on reducing their tinnitus until an equal match had been achieved between it and the stimulus sound at each new decibel level. Both subjects gained control over their tinnitus and were able to reduce it markedly from baseline levels. This procedure is viewed as an advance over other techniques not only in that it significantly reduces the tinnitus but in the fact that it is done through the subject's own control, providing psychological benefit as well.
报告了两例采用样本匹配程序治疗主观性耳鸣的病例。在进行基线评估后，通过听力测定法再现了受试者所经历耳鸣的响度、频率和音质。将其呈现给受试者未受影响的耳朵，并在各疗程中逐渐降低。要求受试者专注于减轻耳鸣，直到在每个新的分贝水平上耳鸣与刺激声音达到相等的匹配。两名受试者均对其耳鸣获得了控制，并能够将其从基线水平显著降低。该程序被视为相对于其他技术的一种进步，不仅在于它能显著减轻耳鸣，还在于它是通过受试者自身的控制来完成的，同时还提供了心理益处。
