highly significantp < .001
Two one-way ANOVAs demonstrated the effect of level to be highly significant ( p < .001) whereby the rated effort decreased linearly with increasing level when listening with CI, F (1, 14) = 28.3, p < .001, η p 2 = 0.7, as well as bimodally, F (1, 14) = 58.7, p < .001, η p 2 = 0.8.
