Table 1.

R-values and p values for correlations between speech-in-noise (SIN) detection ability, auditory working memory (AWM) and Neuropsychometric scores. Reading ability was measured using the Weschler Test of Adult Reading. Non-verbal reasoning was measured using the Block Design subsection of the Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale 3. Delayed verbal recall was measured using the List Learning A set from the Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale 3. Asterisks indicate statistically significant correlations after correction for multiple comparisons using the Bonferroni–Holm method.
