Reproducibility of pitch-matching test for tinnitus. Using a heptatonic scale

We evaluated the reproducibility of measured values obtained using a heptachord pitch-matching test (PMT). Investigation of the measured values by considering the minimum unit width limits of the testing scale revealed that the coincidence ratios of the measured values of intra-daily variations, int...

Summary:We evaluated the reproducibility of measured values obtained using a heptachord pitch-matching test (PMT). Investigation of the measured values by considering the minimum unit width limits of the testing scale revealed that the coincidence ratios of the measured values of intra-daily variations, intra-weekly variations and eight values measured consecutively in one test were as high as 100%, 94.8% and 83.3%, respectively. We therefore concluded that the reproducibility of this method is satisfactory. The measured values obtained by both ordinary one-octave-interval and heptachord PMT are compared in this article.
