Individual participants' speech recognition scores (CNC words, HINT sentences in noise, TIMIT sentences in noise and TIMIT sentences in quiet) are shown for the three pre/perilingual participants pre-implant, and at six and 12 months post-implant. Scores are shown in black for the poorer hearing ear that was implanted, in white for the better hearing ear with a HA, and in gray for the participants' everyday listening condition (bimodal at the post-implant interval).
