Table 2.
WRS for each fMAP generated by the evolutionary algorithm (P1–4 and C1–C9). Asterisk indicates the selected final fMAP. Initial and final WRS (45–60 days after fitting) were tested by 20 words and intermediate WRS by 10 words. All were expressed as a score out of ten. All tests were conducted at the same signal/noise ratio (SNR). Minus sign (-): the patient was not willing to test the fMAPs and abandoned the procedure.
