2026-02-17
A study recently published by Schwabe investigated the effects of the Ginkgo biloba extract EGb 761® in chronic tinnitus. A total of 170 patients took 120 mg of the extract twice daily for 24 weeks.
Results:
- After 24 weeks, patients had significantly fewer tinnitus symptoms.
- People who had high levels of anxiety or stress at the start of the study improved particularly strongly.
- Patients with normal hearing also benefited more.
The study demonstrated that EGb 761® can help reduce symptoms of chronic tinnitus. It appears to be especially beneficial for people with normal hearing as well as those experiencing anxiety or stress.
