The Claim
In adults with chronic tinnitus, those with elevated baseline anxiety (HADS anxiety score ≥11) have a higher probability of achieving a clinically meaningful response to Ginkgo biloba extract EGb 761® compared to those with lower anxiety, with an odds ratio of 2.62 (95% CI: 1.05–6.54).
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 and higher anxiety levels at the start of treatment are more likely to experience a meaningful improvement after taking Ginkgo biloba extract EGb 761® than those with lower anxiety levels.

Ginkgo biloba improves blood flow in the inner ear and calms overactive brain circuits that cause ringing in the ears. It also fixes imbalances in brain chemicals linked to stress and anxiety, which helps the brain ignore the false sound signal more effectively.
What the research says
1 studyPeople with chronic ringing in the ears who were more anxious at the start were about two and a half times more likely to feel significantly better after taking Ginkgo biloba than those who weren’t as anxious — and the study found exactly that.
