Table 1.
Means (and Ranges) for the Age, PTA3–8k, PTA0.5–4k, and Reading Span Data for the Two Groups of Participants. SRT80s for the Two Levels of Linguistic Complexity (Low, High) Are Also Shown.
| eHA | iHA | |
|---|---|---|
| N | 15 | 14 |
| Age (year) | 72 (60, 79) | 73 (63, 78) |
| PTA3–8k (dB HL) | 62 (57, 67) | 60 (55, 65) |
| PTA0.5–4k (dB HL) | 35 (31, 39) | 31 (24, 38) |
| RS (%-correct) | 44 (32, 50) | 39 (26, 56) |
| SRT80,low (dB SNR) | −1.9 (−2.9, −0.2) | −1.3 (−3.2, −2.3) |
| SRT80,high (dB SNR) | −1.1 (−2.4, 0.4) | −0.6 (−3.0, 3.2) |
PTA = pure-tone average hearing loss; RS = Reading Span; SNR = signal-to-noise ratio; eHA = group of experienced hearing aid users; iHA = group of inexperienced hearing aid users.
