Figures & data

Table 1 Number of individuals who would or would not fall within the implant candidacy range based on BKB and AB word cut-offs

Table 2 Demographic details for nine individuals who had different pass/fail criteria for BKBs and AB words

Figure 1 Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for the word (solid curve) and phoneme (dashed curve) scores from the AB word test. The symbols mark the score that maximizes the sensitivity and specificity of each scoring method; i.e. the cut-off score that identifies eligible and non-eligible candidates as close as possible to the BKB sentence test using the 50% cut-off criterion
