Figure legends
Figure 1SRTs are plotted as function of Co-located (S0N0) and Separated test conditions (S0NNHand S0NSSD). Individual data of participants tested in different test conditions were displayed in three panels, from left to right. Data points of children with SSD (in unaided and aided listening conditions) and NH were displayed by hollow circle, triangle, and square data points, respectively. Group means were represented with mean ± two standard deviations. SRT=Speech reception thresholds; SNR=signal to noise ratio; NH=normal hearing; SSD=single sided deafness; SRM=spatial release from masking.
Figure 2SRTs for the Co-located condition (S0N0) are plotted as functions of SRTs for the Separated conditions (S0NNH and S0NSSD). Data points of children with SSD (in unaided and aided listening conditions) and NH were displayed by the hollow circle, triangle, and square data points, respectively. SRM was found in the data point above the diagonal, whose SRT was higher in the Co-located condition. Participants with the same SRTs in Co-located and Separated conditions are displayed on the grey dotted diagonal, that is, no SRM. SRT=Speech reception thresholds; SNR=signal to noise ratio; NH=normal hearing; SSD=single sided deafness; SRM=spatial release from masking.
Figure 3SRTs for Co-located (S0N0) and Separated (S0NNH and S0NSSD) conditions are plotted as a function of age (in years). SRT=Speech reception thresholds; SNR=signal to noise ratio; NH=normal hearing; SSD=single sided deafness.
Figure 4 SRM is plotted as a function of Separated test conditions of S0NNH and S0NSSD. Individual data of participants tested in different test conditions were displayed in two panels. Data points of children with SSD (in unaided and aided listening conditions) and NH were displayed by the hollow circle, triangle, and square data points, respectively. Group means were represented with mean ± two standard deviations. SRT=Speech reception thresholds; NH=normal hearing; SSD=single sided deafness; SRM=spatial release from masking.
Figure 5 SRMs for Separated conditions (S0NNH and S0NSSD) are plotted as a function of age (in years). SNR=signal to noise ratio; NH=normal hearing; SSD=single sided deafness; SRM=spatial release from masking.
