Legend:
Speech Intelligibility scores for subjects with onset of deafness after age 4.intelligibility of subject S-DD might be accounted for, in part, by the fact that she was 5 years old when she lost her hearing, whereas the other subject had a progressive hearing loss since age 3 that became profound at age 4. The speech intelligibility of each subject who used no sensory aid (NA-AA and NA-AB) was only 3%. Thus, the intelligibility of these 2 subjects’ speech 5 years after they became deaf (at age 5) was no better than that of subjects with congenital deafness or deafness acquired during the first few years of life (Figure 4).
