By excluding pair 9, the correlation test showed a trend towards significance (r = 0.49, p = 0.053), indicating that early CI implantation correlated with higher speech development.

There was also a highly significant correlation between global speech performance and frontal activation, indicating that a stronger activation of the frontal cortex corresponded with better global speech performance in CI users (r = −0.591, p = 0.01, N = 18).
