Lesion description, age, sex, PTA (average in dB HL at 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz) and HFA (average in dB HL at 4000, 6000 and 8000 Hz)
| Participant | Age | Sex | PTA | HFA | Lesion |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| I (1) | 64 | M | 22.5 | 28.1 | Paramedial right thalamus |
| I (9) | 32 | M | 15 | 11.6 | Right insula infarct |
| I (4) | 52 | M | 25 | 26 | Left medulla oblongata, occipital lobe, hippocampus and right cerebellum infarct |
| I (6) | 32 | M | 5.5 | 6.6 | Right temporal lobe infarct |
| SC (3) | 44 | M | 8.3 | 11.6 | Right putamen/corona radiata infarct |
| SC (5) | 53 | F | 25 | 28.3 | Right superior parietal lobule infarct |
| SC (2) | 24 | M | 18.3 | 16.6 | Left frontotemporal and insula infarct |
| SC (7) | 78 | M | 25 | 30.1 | Left occipito-temporal infarct |
| SC (8) | 64 | M | 22.5 | 28.1 | Right temporal infarct |
A Mann-Whitney U test showed no statistically significant difference for age, PTA and HFA of intervention and the standard care group.
dB, decibel; F, female; HFA, high-frequency average; HL, hearing level; I, intervention; M, male; PTA, pure-tone average; SC, standard care.
