In this study the detrimental impact of high level noise on temporary threshold shift (TTS) (i.e., hearing loss), was reduced when subjects were given suggestions of imaginary ear muffs attenuating the amplitude and aversive aspects of the noise. This effect was small, however, and only apparent when subjects' responses to noise under a relaxation/imagery (self-regulation) condition was compared to exposure while working on crossword puzzles. The subject's level of hypnotic susceptibility was not related to the outcome. Implications of these findings were discussed.
在本研究中，当向受试者提供关于想象中的耳罩可减弱噪声的幅度和厌恶特性的建议时，高强度噪声对暂时性阈移（即听力损失）的有害影响有所降低。然而，这种影响较小，并且只有在将受试者在放松/想象（自我调节）条件下对噪声的反应与做填字游戏时的暴露情况进行比较时才明显。受试者的催眠易感性水平与结果无关。讨论了这些发现的意义。
