Table III.

Demographic and hearing characteristics of the 334 participants.

Variable Mean ± Standard Deviation
Age, years 59.4 ± 15.6
Duration of hearing loss, years 26.0 ± 17.7
Duration of CI use, years 7.6 ± 6.9
CNC (N=210) 67.3% ± 23.3%
HINT (N=105) 75.0% ± 24.0%
AzBio quiet (N=202) 76.7% ± 25.0%
AzBio+10 dB SNR (N=141) 64.5% ± 25.1%

At least one speech recognition score was available for 72.2% (N=241) of subjects (43 participants had one score available; 65 had two scores; 96 had three scores; and 47 had all four scores). The N in parentheses for each speech recognition tests represents the number of subjects with available scores. CNC: CNC word recognition score; HINT: HINT sentence recognition score; AzBio quiet: AzBio sentence recognition score in quiet; AzBio +10 dB SNR: AzBio sentence score in +10 dB signal to noise ratio.
