Does the 40-Hz auditory steady-state response show the binaural masking level difference?

abstract：OBJECTIVE:To investigate the incidence of tinnitus that burdens the health service in England. DESIGN:This was an observational study of 4.7 million residents of England under 85 years of age who were at risk for developing clinically significant tinnitus (sigT). SigT was defined by a discharge from hospital with a pr...
