Effects of Various Extents of High-Frequency Hearing Loss on Speech Recognition and Gap Detection at Low Frequencies in Patients with Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Table 2

Correlation analysis between pure-tone averages of high-frequency hearing loss and speech recognition scores with different compression and different test backgrounds.

	Compression ratio of speech in quiet			Compression ratio of speech in noise
	1	0.8	0.6	1	0.8	0.6
Pearson correlation	−0.279	−0.269	−0.329	−0.694	−0.627	−0.536
value	0.015	0.019	0.004	<0.001	<0.001	<0.001

For NH groups, the average was calculated across 2, 4, and 8 kHz; for HF SNHL groups, the average was calculated across frequencies where exhibited hearing loss. indicates values smaller than 0.05.
