The Claim
In adults with chronic tinnitus, those with elevated baseline stress (PSQ index ≥0.45) experience significantly greater improvement in tinnitus loudness and annoyance after 24 weeks of daily 240 mg Ginkgo biloba extract EGb 761® than those with low baseline stress levels.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Adults with chronic tinnitus who have high stress at the start of treatment show greater reduction in tinnitus loudness and annoyance after 24 weeks of taking 240 mg of Ginkgo biloba extract daily compared to those with low stress at the start.
See the scientific wording
In adults with chronic tinnitus, elevated baseline stress (PSQ index ≥0.45) is associated with significantly greater improvement in tinnitus loudness and annoyance after 24 weeks of daily 240 mg Ginkgo biloba extract EGb 761® compared to those with low stress levels.
Ginkgo biloba improves blood flow to the inner ear and calms overactive brain signals by balancing stress-related chemicals like dopamine and acetylcholine, which reduces the brain's false perception of sound in people who are highly stressed.
What the research says
1 studyPeople with chronic ear ringing who feel more stressed at the start tend to feel much better after taking Ginkgo biloba for six months, and the study shows this is true — they’re more than twice as likely to improve compared to less stressed people.
