In adults, monosyllabic word recognition score using the Consonant-Nucleus-Consonant (CNC) word set and AzBio sentence-in-quiet (SIQ) scores were used.6,7 Pre-operative testing in children between six months to two years of age included visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA) or behavioral observation audiometry (BOA). In older children, conditioned play audiometry (CPA) was used. Developmental and age-appropriate speech discrimination tests were also performed. Children able to complete speech testing were assessed with the Phonetically Balanced Kindergarten (PBK) open set of monosyllabic words or the Multisyllabic Lexical Neighborhood test (MLNT), another open set test that has been reported to be more reliable in CI users.8–10 When available, these data were collected for the revised side pre-revision, defined as any score documented after recognition of failure or performance decline but before revision surgery, and post-revision. Data and subsequent analysis was last updated in September 2021. Averages of pure tone audiometry (PTA), speech scores, and SIQ at all three timepoints were performed and compared against one another using two-tailed t-tests.
