∗p = 0.0015: when comparing the mean FA value of HG between the CSNHL group and the Control Group. ∗∗p = 0.0033: when comparing the mean FA value in the FM between the CSNHL group and the Control Group. Values indicate the mean values in each parameter. FA: fractional anisotropy, RD: radial diffusivity, AD: axial diffusivity.
