Grouping of answers
If the participants’ answer included the corect pathology the answer was
defined as “correct.” If more than one pathology was listed next to
the correct answer, the others were ignored.
If the type of hearing loss was specified instead of the pathology
causing the hearing loss, the response was classified as “undefined.”
Responses that did not include the correct pathology and type of hearing
loss were classified as ”incorrect”. The audiological findings of the
pathologies are given in Table 1.
