Word Recognition Scores (WRS). WRS of monosyllabic words are displayed in percent [%] at sound pressure levels of 50 dB (black boxes), 65 dB (grey boxes), and 80 dB (white boxes). The WRS were measured before implantation with the best-fitted hearing aid (preop-aided), and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months (mo) after implantation (postop) with the cochlear implant. The plus signs + indicate statistical significance (p < 0.05) in WRS at sound level pressures at 65 dB when comparing preoperative and postoperative WRS at different time points. The stars * indicate statistical significance (p < 0.05) in WRS at sound level pressures at 80 dB when comparing preoperative and postoperative WRS at different time points. There was no statistical significance between the pre- and postoperative comparisons at 50 dB. There was no statistical significance within the postoperative WRS at different time points. The p-values can be found in Table 4
