TABLE II.

Identification scores (in RAU) for the six types of speech (rows: U, E, T1, R1, T4, and R4; the row “mean” shows scores averaged over the different types of speech) for NH and HI listeners (columns; the column “mean” shows scores averaged over the two groups). Scores are shown for each of the three backgrounds of noise (baseline, continuous, and interrupted) as well as averaged over the different backgrounds (“all noises”). Results of an ANOVA (see Sec. III B) indicated that all global effects and interactions were significant. (Note that results of HI-9 were excluded from the ANOVA and from this table as well.)
