Implication

Exploratory study reveals that SMRT scores correlate with speech recognition in adult cochlear implant candidates, suggesting potential predictive value.

Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the relationship between SMRT performance and speech recognition scores in adult cochlear implant candidates.
Conducted a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data in a tertiary academic medical center.
Evaluated aided SMRT performance using participants' devices to assess speech recognition in different conditions.
Correlated SMRT scores with clinical speech recognition measures like CNC and AzBio.
Significant correlations found between laboratory SMRT scores and unilateral best-aided CNC and AzBio speech recognition in quiet and noise.
Correlations indicate that higher SMRT scores relate to better speech recognition outcomes for the implanted ear.
No significant correlation observed for bilateral AzBio speech recognition in noise.
