Three subjects were permanently implanted with positive long lasting results. Analysis of the threshold of sound perception, tinnitus suppression and auditory discomfort levels as a function of current frequency revealed the advantage of low frequency stimulation. In 2 patients the loudness of electrically evoked sound perception was balanced against tones in the hearing ear. Our results can be interpreted as indicating that processes other than auditory masking are responsible for electrical tinnitus suppression.
