The aim was to determine the scores of dichotic digits test (DDT) and word-in-noise perception (WINP) test in PSR. The survey was cross-sectional-comparative. The case group consisted of 30 PSR, with an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 60-90 mL/min at 1.73 m2. The control group consisted of 60 normal participants.
