We investigated the 2f1-f2 distortion products (DPs) in 5 normal-hearing subjects with unilateral tinnitus. There was no significant difference in the contralateral DPs suppression between tinnitus ears and healthy ears. However, this result did not show no relationship between tinnitus and the efferent system, since the clinical utility of the suppressive effect of a contralateral sound was restricted from 1 to 2kHz in our equipment. DPs amplitude and its variability were assessed in 1/5 octave steps from 1 to 8kHz. There was a tendency for DPs amplitude and its variability to decrease in tinnitus ears. This result was hardly explained by cochlear mechanism, since variability generally increased when DPs amplitude decreased. Therefore, our data implied the notion that the medial olivocochlear efferents were activated in tinnitus ears.
