Individual rats’ balance beam crossing times. Mean balance beam crossing times averaged from 20 trials per week are plotted for each rat that was noise exposed (n = 12). For comparison, mean control balance beam crossing times for weeks −1 to 5 are plotted as a horizontal gray dashed line and mean baseline (week −1) times are plotted for noise-exposed rats. Mean non-noise exposed rats are extremely similar to control rats. After noise exposure, most noise exposed rats’ mean crossing times are greater than the mean. The highest balance beam crossing time is seen 2 weeks after noise exposure. After this, balance beam crossing times show some improvement and looks more similar to baseline in most rats by week 5.
