Int Tinnitus J. 2001;7(1):33-9.
The present study was conducted in an attempt to determine whether noise generators (NGs) induce changes of electroencephalographic activity in healthy control subjects and in subjects suffering from tinnitus. The results indicated that the application of an NG, irrespective of its placement, induced a significant increase of the average total power in both the female and male tinnitus groups. However, no significant changes were observed for the male control group. A weak increase of average total power was noted for the female control group with the NG placed either in the left or the right ear. The NG induced significant changes of average power in different frequency bands. In conclusion, the NG-induced electroencephalographic changes were dependent on gender, tinnitus location, and placement of the NG.
本研究旨在确定噪声发生器(NGs)是否会引起健康对照受试者和耳鸣患者脑电图活动的变化。结果表明,无论NGs放置在何处,其应用都会导致女性和男性耳鸣组的平均总功率显著增加。然而,男性对照组未观察到显著变化。当NGs放置在左耳或右耳时,女性对照组的平均总功率有微弱增加。NGs引起了不同频段平均功率的显著变化。总之,NGs引起的脑电图变化取决于性别、耳鸣位置和NGs的放置位置。
