Values shown are the mean (with standard deviation in parentheses). Ave1–3 scores range from 0 to 100, with 100 being the best response. Ave4–6 scores indicate deviation from 0, which is the best response (the scale ranged from −50 to +50, but absolute values were used for this analysis). Scores are SNR-50, that is, the signal-to-noise ratio, where a 50% correct score would be obtained for the sentence test material. A lower value indicates better speech perception in noise.
