Mean and range of PTA thresholds, age at testing, word recognition scores (WRS), phoneme recognition scores (PRS), and SRTs for the different hearing status groups.

Sex data are also shown. Results from linear mixed-model analyses are shown at right. For the analyses, PTA thresholds, age at testing, word recognition scores, phoneme recognition scores, and SRTs were the dependent variables, hearing status group was the fixed factor, and participant was the random factor, except for sex, where sex was the dependent variable and participant was the random factor. Significant effects are indicated by asterisks and italics. Significant post-hoc Bonferroni-adjusted pairwise comparisons are shown at far right (p < 0.05).
