Although tinnitus causes considerable suffering to many patients,
its loudness is small in most cases. Traditionally the loudness is
measured with a binaural loudness balance procedure. It IS stated
that when there is recruitment in the ear to which the test tone
is presented, the intensity of the test tone is smaller than its
loudness. Therefore in the case of recruitment in the ear to which
the test tone is presented, the loudness of tinnitus will be underestimated.
In this study the loudness in a group with recruitment in the ear
to which the test tone was presented was compared with the loudness
in a group with a normal ear to which the test tone was presentcd.
The present results show that although recruitment does have a certain
effect, it is very small.
