Determining appropriate time points for testing of chronic tinnitus. (A) Performance on Quiet trials remained consistent after control rats were given one week off between training and testing on the behavioral paradigm. After two weeks off, a significant increase in the misidentification of Quiet trials (indicating a false-positive screening of tinnitus) was observed [two-tailed paired t-test on baseline vs two weeks off, t(9) = 2.7, *p < 0.05, n = 10]. (B) After one week off between training and testing, control rats could be tested up to two days in a row before a significant increase in misidentification of Quiet trials was observed on days 3 and 4 of repeat testing (One-way ANOVA, F4,40 = 3.39, *p < 0.05, n = 9). Open symbols in panels (A,B) represent individual rats with z-scores exceeding the one-tailed criterion for significance (see section “2. Materials and methods” for details).
