The italics and asterisks indicate significant correlations (). MCI = melodic contour identification; age test = age at testing; age CI = age at cochlear implantation; dur deaf = duration of deafness; CI exp = cochlear implant experience; HA exp = hearing aid experience; PTA = pure-tone average threshold.
