FIG. 3.

Speech understanding in quiet. WRS was determined at 65 dB SPL using the Pruszewicz monosyllabic Polish word test in the pBC Implant group (A) and BCD softband group (B). SRT in quiet was measured with the same test in the pBC Implant group (C) and BCD soft band group (D). Box plots indicate the median (centred horizontal line) with 25%- and 75%-quartiles (upper and lower horizontal lines) and minimum and maximum values (whisker). The cross indicates the mean. Individual data are labeled according to subject identifier. pBC indicates passive bone conduction; BCD, bone conduction device; SRT, speech recognition threshold; WRS, word recognition score.
