TABLE V.

Correlation between SMTF slope and x-intercept. Note: Unadjusted = fit parameters to raw data. Adjusted = fit parameters to adjusted lower-depth data. A = SMTF x-intercept (dB). B = log10 of SMTF slope (Hz⁻¹). SNR-50 = SNR (dB) at 50% identification of spondees in steady state noise. p-values shown for 2-tailed tests. Group sample sizes in parentheses.
