Additionally, baseline and follow-up audiological measurements were collected including audiological diagnosis, pure tone average from frequencies of 500, 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 and 4,000 Hz, and speech recognition by means of monosyllabic recognition ( 16 ). All data points were derived from medical records and represent standard follow-up measures used in clinical practice.…”
