For simplicity, subjects are referred to in this manuscript by subject code (i.e., C1-N11). The letter before the number refers to the manufacturer of the device (“C”: Advanced Bionics; “M”: MED-EL, and “N”: Cochlear). The internal lab code for each subject is also provided for comparison purposes to other publications. Dur deaf = duration of deafness. CI exp = cochlear implant experience. AB = Advanced Bionics. ACE = Advanced Combination Encoder. PTA = pure-tone average thresholds across 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz. DNT = did not test. For all subjects except for C1, M3, and M5, CNC scores with the CI-only were obtained after 1 year of CI experience. For C1 and M3, scores were obtained after 3 months of CI experience; no scores were available for M5.
