Fig. 3.

(A) Averaged Consonant-Nucleus-Consonant (CNC) word and AzBio sentence in noise scores preoperatively and 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively in the subjects everyday listening condition with ±1 standard error bars are shown. (B, C) Change in speech perception from preoperative scores with bilateral hearing aids to 12 months in the subjects everyday listening condition. The horizontal axis in (B) (CNC words) and (C) (AzBio sentence in noise) shows the individual subject’s preoperative score, with the subsequent postoperative score at 12 months shown on the vertical axis. Individual scores that are depicted as black filled circles indicate those with a significant improvement in performance; scores that are open circles indicate no change; and scores that have an X indicate those with a significant decrement in performance. Scores with a triangle indicate those subjects who lost residual hearing on the ipsilaterally (Ipsi) implanted ear.
