Table 6.

Orthogonal contrasts of reverberation conditions (post hoc Tukey HSD) indicate significant differences in speech recognition performance as a function of noise masker type (Noise) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Performance in the pseudo-anechoic (PA) condition, reverberant condition at a 2 m distance (R2m) and reverberant condition at a 6 m distance (R6m) were compared within each age group at −10, −5, and 0 dB SNR.
