3.3 Analysis of outcome differences in the AHL1 subgroup (n =
26)
In the AHL1 subgroups, no specific frequency differed significantly with
three outcomes (Figure 1C) or two outcomes (Figure 2C). Compared with
the other unspecified etiologies, the retrocochlear etiology of hearing
loss was found more often for successful users than for intermittent or
failed users (p = 0.040)(Figure 3E). Compared with CNS or other
unspecified causes, sudden hearing loss was found more often for
successful users than for the other two outcome groups (p =
0.040)(Figure 3F). No significant discriminant function was found with
three outcomes or two outcomes.
