HiRes sound processing. Performance with HiRes was
assessed at the baseline visit and compared with HiRes
120 performance after three months of listening experi-
ence. Subsequently, subjects were refit and retested
with HiRes. Results showed equivalent mean CNC word
recognition scores for the two strategies. The mean
HINT sentence perception scores in quiet and noise
were significantly higher for HiRes 120 compared to
baseline with HiRes. For HINT sentences in noise, the
mean scores for HiRes 120 were significantly higher
than scores after subjects were refit with HiRes.
