Note: Best pre-processing strategies (in bold) were found to be statistically significant at the individual level. Grey font indicates no significant differences among pre-processing strategies for that individual on that test measure. When two or more different pre-processing conditions are listed (i.e. P2 for HINT at 60 dB SPL) it means that both were significantly better than the others, but not different from one another. ADRO^® = Automatic Dynamic Range Optimization; ASC+ADRO^® = Autosensitivity control and Automatic Dynamic Range Optimization; CNC = Consonant-Nucleus-Consonant word list; ASC = Autosensitivity control; HINT = Hearing in Noise Test adaptively presented in the R-Space; dB SPL = decibels in sound pressure level
