Evaluation of Psychoacoustic Measures Using the Podiometer for Tinnitus Presence Detection
This study utilizes the Podiometer ("Pod") as a testing device for participants responding to automated assessments related to tinnitus. Participants interact with the Podiometer by turning the encoder dial and pressing response buttons. The device is directly connected to a computer and integrates with ER-4B insert earphones to deliver precise audio stimuli. The research, conducted by a team including Henry JA, McMillan GP, and others, explores psychoacoustic measures that effectively establish the presence of tinnitus, as documented in the Journal of Rehabilitation Research and Development.
