Table 3.

Mean word recognition performance (RAU) for each of the conditions tested. Numbers in parentheses represent standard deviations. Filled circles reflect worse performance in the high reverberation condition (p < 0.05) for research question A (comparable word recognition performance).

Low Moderate High
Quiet 117.4 (2.9) 116.6 (4.2)* 113.1 (5.0)•
Avg SNR = −0.3 dB (σ = 0.9) 83.9 (6.1)•

Asterisks indicate significant main effects (p< 0.001) of comparisons for research question B (constant reverberation).

Crosses (†) indicate a significant main effect of reverberation (<100 to 475ms) within a fixed SNR (p < 0.001) for research question C.

Double crosses (‡) indicate a significant main effect of reverberation (475 to 834ms) within a fixed SNR (p < 0.001) for research question D.
