Note: Values with significant correlations are in boldface
THI: Tinnitus Handicap Inventory; LME: loudness magnitude estimation; LD500: loudness matching at 500 Hz; LDWN: loudness matching with white noise; SNR-R: signal-to-noise ratio loss in the right ear; SNR-L: signal-to-noise ratio loss in the left ear
