Associations of FSS (completed only by parents, and where higher FSS scores indicate higher stress levels) with CHIP-CE scores (higher scores indicate better health), adjusting for group (cochlear implant [CI] or internal CDaCI controls [NH1]), test age, sex, maternal education, and family income

Pair-wise correlations between FSS mean score and CHIP-CE score
