Mean SRT (±SD) and cognitive measures (±SD) for participants with normal hearing (NH group) and hearing impairment (HI group).

	SVO structure	OVS structure	ambOVS structure	Cognitive tests
NH	SRT80 in stationary noise			Stroop measure in ms	Digit-span score in %	Word-span score in %
	−4.4 (±1.3) dB	−3.6 (±1.4) dB	−4.2 (±0.7) dB	1,197 (±225)	51 (±1)	28.9 (±9)
	SRT80 in modulated noise
	−9.8 (±2.1) dB	−8.1 (±2.7) dB	−7.8 (±2.7) dB
HI	SRT80 in stationary noise
	−1.5 (±2.7) dB	−0.1 (2.6) dB	−0.5(±2.3) dB	1,295 (±244)	48 (±12)	27.9 (±10)
	SRT80 in modulated noise
	0.1 (±3.8) dB	2.3(3.1) dB	1.9 (±3.0) dB

Note. Left panel: Mean SRT measured for all three sentence structures in stationary and in modulated noise. Right panel: mean results of the cognitive tests: the Stroop measure, the digit-span, and the word-span score are shown for both group. NH = normal hearing; HI = hearing impaired; SRT = speech reception threshold; SVO = subject–verb–object; OVS = object–verb–subject; ambOVS = ambiguous object–verb–subject.
