Legend:
Speech intelligibility scores for subjects with onset of deafness before age 4. The scores of the experimental subjects are compared to the mean
Intelligibility scores of subjects classified as Gold hearing aid users (unaided thresholds of 90 to 100 dB HL and aided thresholds of 30 to 55 dB
HL from 500 to 2000 Hz) or Silver hearing aid users (unaided thresholds of 100 to 110 dB HL from 500 to 2000 Hz and aided thresholds greater
than 55 dB HL above 1000 Hz). G = mean score of Gold hearing aid users. S = mean score of Silver hearing aid users. (See Figure 3.)
