Subject hearing and CI history
Mean (SD) | Range | |
---|---|---|
Age | 59.5 (14.9) | 19-88 |
Duration of hearing loss prior to CI (years) | 27.1 (18.4) | 0-80 |
Duration of CI use (years) | 7.6 (6.5) | 1.0-33.0 |
CNC Word scores (%; n=173) | 69.6 (24.4) | 0-100 |
HINT Sentence scores in quiet (%, n=78) | 76.1 (30.2) | 0-100 |
AzBio Sentences in quiet (%; n= 185) | 81.2 (23.0) | 0-100 |
AzBio Sentence scores in noise at +10 dB SNR (%; n=121) | 64.3 (27.5) | 0-100 |
Speech recognition scores were obtained by the subject from their audiologist. N represents the number of subjects who were able to obtain that score. CI: cochlear implant; CNC: (consonant-nucleus-consonant) word recognition test performed in quiet; HINT: (Hearing in Noise Test) sentence recognition test performed in quiet; AzBio: sentence recognition test performed in quiet or in noise at +10 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
