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

Figure 10

Trauma and treatment induced changes of neuronal response characteristics in NT and T animals. (a) Statistical interaction (with -statistics) of time of measurement (before versus after trauma) and animal group (V versus E) with the mean neuronal threshold (±95% confidence interval) averaged across all animals (left panel) or separated into nontinnitus (center panel) and tinnitus animals (right panel). (b) Statistical interaction of time of measurement and animal group on spectral tuning sharpness ( value) with the same grouping as above. Note that none of the statistical interactions become significant while most data show significant differences between V and E animals in the Tukey post-hoc-tests indicated by the asterisks ( , , , ).
