Figure 1

Principal component analysis of hearing histories. Principal component (PC) scores and their loading vectors are displayed for (a) PC2 and (b) PC3 relative to PC1, which together explained 69% of the variance in the hearing histories of each group of bilateral device users. Variables contributing highly to PC1 related to the asymmetric hearing experience whereas the combination of highly contributing variables to PC2 and PC3 correspond to unilateral deafness or any type of deafness (unilateral and bilateral) respectively. Ellipses represent 68% (±1 SD distributions) of the scores for each group, which are differentiated by colour.
