  1. Uncorrected = Independent variables: TOMCATS, Neuroticism, PTA in better and worse ear, duration of hearing loss and inter-aural difference in PTA
  2. Corrected = Models from the stepwise regression corrected by directly entering the variables in a model that also included age and sex as independent variables
