Note. CI = cochlear implant; NR = no response at the output limits (110dB HL at 500Hz, 115dB HL at 1000Hz, and 115dB HL at 2000Hz) of the pure-tone audiometer; Comm mode = communication mode; MPEAK = multipeak; SPEAK = spectral peak; TC = total communication; OC = oral communication; CMV = cytomegalovirus.
