CI = cochlear implant; NH6 = NH 6-year-olds; NH13 = NH 13-year-olds; S = Spearman’s correlation test; W = Wilcoxon’s signed rank test; M–W U = Mann–Whitney’s U-test for independent samples. *Not significant after adjusting for multiple testing. The medians and sample sizes that were used in the analyses can be found in Table 3.
