Table 1.
Descriptive information for listeners. Each listener is identified by ID number + ear tested ([R: Right or L: Left]). Three listeners whose performance was tested monaurally in both ears are indicated by ID plus R/L. Differences in number of listeners, ears, and audiograms vary because of the 3 listeners who were tested bilaterally. Listeners were divided into two groups on the basis of audiometric configuration: sloping group (18 ears) and flat group (7 ears).
