^∗p < 0.05, ^∗∗p < 0.01. Speech-in-noise perception measured by age-adjusted HINT SRT in noise [dB SNR)]; speech perception (sentences) measured by sentences in quiet (% words correct); speech perception (monosyllables) measured by % correct words; language ability measured by The Core Language Index of the Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals (CELF-4) (standard score); non-verbal IQ measured by Raven’s matrices (standard score); memory span measured by CELF Digit span subtest (scaled score of forward and backward digit span combined).
