Scatterplot

Example of a scatterplot along with a line of best fit reporting mean pure tone average (PTA) (in dB HL) and unaided Reception Threshold for Sentences (RTS in dB). This figure illustrates significant scatter (intersubject variability) in unaided RTS as a function of PTA. However, as PTA becomes poorer, the unaided RTS also was poorer (i.e., higher). Relationship between pure-tone average (PTA in dB HL) and unaided Reception Threshold for Sentences (RTS in dB) and trend-line. Note that the poorer the PTA, the poorer the RTS (higher value).

whisker box plot

Example of a whisker box plot mean benefit score across the four subscales Ease of Communication (EC), Background Noise (BN), Reverberation (RV), and Aversiveness of Loud Sounds (AV) of the Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit. The solid horizontal line represents the median, the enclosed shaded area the 25th and 75th percentiles, and the whiskers represent the range in this example, but can represent other values such as +/− one standard deviation. Subjects' median, 25th and 75th percentiles, and range of mean benefit scores on the Ease of Communication (EC), Background Noise (BN), Reverberation (RV), and Aversiveness to Loud Sounds (AV) subscales of the Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit (APHAB).
