Figure 3. The tinnitus spectrum (gray dotted line) mirrors hearing loss for both musicians (A) and non-musicians (B).

Pure-tone thresholds (black line) are reported for the right ear. All groups rated the predominant tinnitus pitch in the high frequencies (>8 kHz). For simulated malingerers (C), tinnitus loudness matching (clear line) is well above the one of tinnitus participants. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean.
