Speech recognition is done differently for a CI evaluation. Basically it uses a quite room and not headphones and is done with your hearing aids. The first is sentences in at 60 dB in quite and then again at 65 dB in a 60 dB background noise.
You can’t really compare the numbers to a regular hearing test. I posted about my test in the first couple of posts in my thread here. What my audio gram showed had very little relationship to how I was hearing with aids (what do you know those things can actually do something). If I was only evaluated in quite I never would have been implanted. In noise I was useless.
