Effect of Electrode Insertion Angle on Cochlear Implantation Outcomes in Adult and Children Patients with Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Figure 5

Correlation between independent variables and cochlear implantation outcomes in the adult group (a) and children group (b). PTA: pure tone average; mWRS: monosyllabic Word Recognition Score; dWRS: disyllabic Word Recognition Score; SRS: Sentence Recognition Score; CAP: Categories of Auditory Performance; MAIS/IT-MAIS: Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale or the Infant-Toddler Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale; HA: hearing aids. The suffix “-a” indicates data after 6 months of cochlear implantation and suffix “-b” indicates 12 months. Values represent the Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficients between features.
