Telehealth cochlear implant programming in Chile yields outcomes comparable to in-person clinical care

Back to article Table 2

Comparison of the noise levels and internet speed measured at each programming session.

	Session	Minimum	Maximum	Standard deviation	Median	Mean	Comparison(n = 10)
Noise level (dBSPL)	In-person	38.00	49.50	3.270	46.500	45.643	X²_F(2) = 2.923;p = 0.232;W = 0.146^#
	Remote at-hospital	39.00	49.50	3.542	41.950	43.543
	Remote at-home	31.00	64.00	9.466	48.000	47.500
Upload internet speed (MB/s)	Remote at-hospital	4.48	637.00	164.984	13.050	73.249	z = -0.866;p = 0.432;r_rb = -0.309⁺
Upload internet speed (MB/s)	Remote at-home	9.37	298.00	105.770	44.800	96.567	z = -0.866;p = 0.432;r_rb = -0.309⁺
