SNR50-R, SNR-50 for the reverberation condition; Better-Ear SII; PPVT, Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test; Estimates represent the coefficients for each variable in the model. For continuous predictors, the estimate represents the change in SNR50 for a one unit change in the predictor. All p-values for significant effects are bolded.
