Table 4.

Linear mixed effects model examining effects of age and hearing status on RMS error by frequency

	Estimate	St. Error	t (df)	p value
Intercept	7.62	0.76	10.05 (132.5)	< .001
Age (years)	−0.09	0.02	−4.42 (103.1)	< .001
PTA (dB HL)	0.08	0.04	−1.83 (109.4)	0.07
Age*PTA	0.002	0.001	2.24 (106.5)	0.03
Frequency (reference = 500 Hz)
1000 Hz	1.04	0.43	2.41 (625.4)	0.02
2000 Hz	1.37	0.43	3.17 (625.4)	0.002
4000 Hz	0.77	0.77	1.78 (625.4)	0.08
Ear (Left vs. Right)	0.09	0.31	0.28 (633.4)	0.78

Note. dB HL = Decibel Hearing Level; Hz = Hertz; PTA = Pure-tone average (of each ear); RMS = Root-mean-square.
