简要总结
About 5-15% of the general population experience a chronic ringing, buzzing, hissing or roaring sound in one or two ears, without any external source. This so-called tinnitus can be present in people with normal hearing, but often coexists with hearing loss. Most people suffering from tinnitus can cope with it, however a minority experiences emotional distress or cognitive dysfunction as a result of the tinnitus, called tinnitus disorder. People suffering from tinnitus disorder regularly complain about an increased experienced effort when listening to speech or other sounds in daily life situations. As this has never been proven scientifically, the investigators aim to evaluate the effect of the tinnitus percept and tinnitus disorder on experienced listening effort by comparing listening effort between a population with tinnitus disorder and a population without tinnitus.
