r: <0.19 = very weak, r 0.20–0.39 = weak, r 0.40–0.59 = moderate, r 0.60–0.79 = strong, r > 0.80 = very strong. U-STARR = Utrecht- Sentence Test with Adaptive Randomised Roving levels, SSQ = Speech, Spatial and Qualities hearing scale. NCIQ = Nijmegen CI Questionnaire, SISSS = speech-intelligibility test with spatially separated sources (SISSS)
^aThe for multiple testing corrected significance level with the Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate method
