Table 3. Psychoacoustic characteristics of tinnitus pitch and loudness (standard deviation) for musicians with tinnitus, non-musicians with tinnitus, and simulated malingerers, at test (A) and retest (B), assessed by the likeness rating method.

Mean loudness at the predominant pitch in dB SL	11.3 (12.6)	1.2 (5.9)	38.8 (18.9)	<.001
B	Musicians	Non-musicians	Simulated malingerers	p-Value
Mean predominant tinnitus pitch in kHz	12.9 (3.9)	13.9 (1.7)	9.1 (3.8)	n.s.
Mean loudness at the predominant pitch in dB SL	-1.1 (7.5)	2.0 (6.7)	22.5 (17.8)	<.001
