Ten experienced tinnitus-masker uses compared four widely different noise bands as potential maskers in a laboratory environment. No reliable individual preferences could be found, and most of the noises were acceptable to most of the subjects. A wide-band noise was marginally most frequently preferred. In this sample, there was no indication that individual tailoring of the frequency spectra of tinnitus maskers is required to achieve acceptable masking. Subjects also underwent tests of hearing, tinnitus matching and tinnitus masking. Most subjects chose noise levels for therapeutic masking that only partially masked their tinnitus. This suggests prescription or trial of tinnitus maskers even for patients who have high minimal masking levels.
