Summary of the diffusion indices at the LL and IC for the unilateral CND group^*

	LL			IC
	Contralateral Mean (SEM)	Control Mean (SEM)	P Value	Contralateral Mean (SEM)	Control Mean (SEM)	P Value
λ‖	1.12 (0.22)	1.22 (0.19)	.2817	1.50 (0.37)	1.37 (0.11)	.2558
l⊥	0.58 (0.16)	0.34 (0.05)	.0003†	0.45 (0.13)	0.26 (0.06)	.0004†
MD	0.76 (0.18)	0.62 (0.06)	.0263†	0.80 (0.20)	0.64 (0.09)	.0231†
FA	0.43 (0.07)	0.67 (0.08)	.0001†	0.68 (0.06)	0.79 (0.04)	.0001†

Note:—LL indicates lateral lemniscus; IC, inferior colliculus; CND, cochlear nerve deficiency; SEM, standard error of the mean; λ_‖, axial diffusivity; l⊥ _, radial diffusivity; MD, mean diffusivity; FA, fractional anisotropy.

^*The contralateral side of the patients was compared with that in the control group.

^†Statistically significant.
