Age, hearing, and cochlear implant (CI) characteristics of the study sample.
| Variable | M ± SD | Range | Response rate n (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age (years) | 59.5 ± 14.9 | 19–88 | 371 (100) |
| Duration of hearing loss prior to CI (years) | 27.1 ± 18.4 | 0–80 | 371 (100) |
| Duration of CI use (years) | 7.6 ± 6.5 | 1–33 | 371 (100) |
| AzBio quiet score (%) | 81.2 ± 23.0 | 0–100 | 185 (49.9) |
| AzBio +10 dB SNR score (%) | 64.3 ± 27.5 | 0–100 | 121 (32.6) |
| CNC word score (%) | 69.6 ± 24.4 | 0–100 | 173 (46.6) |
| HINT score (%) | 76.1 ± 30.2 | 0–100 | 78 (21.0) |
Note. SNR = signal-to-noise ratio; CNC = consonant–nucleus–consonant; HINT = Hearing in Noise Test.
