Previous studies have investigated listening effort in tinnitus patients compared to healthy individuals. These studies reported similar pure tone hearing thresholds between groups but did not investigate possible peripheral auditory dysfunction, which could affect the central auditory system and increase listening effort even when hearing thresholds are within the normal hearing range. This study aimed to investigate the presence of listening effort in tinnitus patients by controlling for peripheral auditory function (PAF).
