Protective Effects of Ginkgo biloba Extract EGb 761 against Noise Trauma-Induced Hearing Loss and Tinnitus Development

Figure 12

Level functions of the auditory brainstem responses (ABR) in NT and T animals grouped for vehicle and EGb 761 treated groups. Given are the mean root mean square (RMS) values of the ABR amplitudes (±95% confidence intervals) as a function of stimulus level before (blue) and after trauma (red) for the four subgroups for low (0.5 to 1.4 kHz), medium (2.0 to 4.0 kHz), and high stimulation frequencies (5.6 to 16.0 kHz). The -statistics of the 2-factorial ANOVAs are shown for each panel and the corresponding 1-factorial part grouped for time of measurement (pre versus post trauma) is given in each inset (also with the RMS of ABR in mV) with the asterisks indicating the significance level ( , , ).
