Extract

Masking of tinnitus by acoustic stimuli seems to be a very simple phenomenon, reflecting everyday experience. The buzzing of a mosquito is drowned by the noise of a jet-plane. That is self-evident and does not need any explanation. It seems to be a perfect analogue to the masking of tinnitus. But if we look into these two situations more closely we find fundamental differences between them, which ask for interpretation.
