Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Pooled associations were nearly identical for listeners with normal hearing to mild HL (r = .31) and normal hearing to moderate HL (r = .32), with overlapping confidence intervals. → Dryden Adam 2017
Evidence¶
Dryden Adam 2017¶
Dryden Adam, Allen Harriet A., Henshaw Helen, Heinrich Antje. (2017). The Association Between Cognitive Performance and Speech-in-Noise Perception for Adult Listeners: A Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis. Trends in Hearing. https://doi.org/10.1177/2331216517744675
q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2
Subanalysis of the overall meta-analysis splitting studies by audiometric hearing range (pooled n = 595 and 431). The review found "virtually overlapping confidence intervals", so no moderation by HL range could be concluded.
"The subanalysis of hearing range showed associations of .31 for listeners with normal hearing to mild HL and .32 for listeners with normal hearing to moderate HL with virtually overlapping confidence intervals."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Working-memory associations with SiN perception appear strongest under informational masking and sentence targets (r up to .43)
- Cognitive performance shows a pooled association of r = .31 with speech-in-noise perception across adult unaided listeners — related
- Cognitive subdomains differ in association strength with SiN perception, from r = .18 (crystallized IQ, nonsignificant) to r = .39 (processing speed) — related
