Values represent Pearson correlation coefficients with strong relationships in bold. Subdomain data are displayed in Figure 2. Dashes denote correlations not performed as the respective domains/subdomains had no hypothesized association based on the constructs they purport to measure. NCIQ physical domain includes basic sound perception, advanced sound perception, and speech production; psychological includes self-esteem; social includes activity limitations and social interactions.
