[Tom Cnyc]

Can someone please explain how you can test for a subjective sound in rats? I read all these studies that show bla bla bla stopped the sound in rats. Yet - when I go to the doctor they can't test to see if I have a noise objectively?

Good explanation of how tinnitus can be induced in animals and what kind of behavioral models there are to assess their tinnitus with.
