Table 1.

Means, medians, and standard deviations (SD) for audiometric measures for children with hearing aids (HA) and children with cochlear implants (CI).

		HA N = 15			CI N = 51
	Mean	Median	SD	Mean	Median	SD
Age of identification of hearing loss (months)	10	4	11	6	3	7
Unaided PTA threshold at the time of testing (HA) or pre-implant unaided PTA threshold (CI) (dB)	64	67	13	101	100	15
Aided PTA threshold at the time of testing	26	25	6	20	20	5
Age at first CI (months)				25	14	29
Age at second CI (months); N = 33				54	44	38

Note: PTA = pure tone average. PTA thresholds are given in dB hearing level for the three speech frequencies of 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz, for the better ear.
