Sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve for various audiometric criteria at predicting classifications of WRQ scores with 88% as a cutoff value

Audiometric Criteria	AUC	Sensitivity (%)	Specificity (%)
HFPTA ≥ 40 and SNR ≥ 7	0.88	89.35	86.12
HFPTA ≥ 40 and SNR ≥ 8	0.89	88.43	88.95
HFPTA ≥ 40	0.87	82.56	92.35
SNR ≥ 7	0.78	61.56	95.04
SNR ≥ 8	0.78	64.19	91.64

AUC, area under the curve; HFPTA, high-frequency pure-tone average; SNR, signal to noise ratio; WRQ, word-recognition in quiet.
