Table 2.

Summary of parameter groups (I-IX). The number of separate parameters in each group are indicated in parentheses.

Whole word measures

I. Duration of word (one parameter)
II. Fragmentation measures: Number of energy peaks, mean duration and SD. The same parameters are also obtained for silent sections (six parameters in all).
III. Spectral measures for whole word. SD between ATE sections, between BTE sections and between adjacent ATE and BTE sections (three parameters).

Measures for first and second part of words

IV. Duration of first and second parts (two parameters)
V. SD of energy in first and second parts as a measure of fluctuation (two parameters).
VI and VII. Part-word fragmentation measures: Peak count parameters for first and second parts as obtained for the whole word (6 parameters per part making 12 in all).
VIII and IX. Part-word spectral measures as obtained for the whole word (three parameters per part making six in all).

Total number of parameters per word = 32
