Condition	Ratio of PTA (HIV+ vs. HIV−) (95% CI)^a	P Value^b
High frequency and worse ear	1.12 (0.97, 1.29)	0.12
High frequency and better ear	1.18 (1.02, 1.36)	0.02
Low frequency and worse ear	1.11 (0.98, 1.25)	0.09
Low frequency and better ear	1.12 (1.00, 1.26)	0.05

Abbreviation: PTA, Pure-tone average.

Adjusted for age, sex, race, and occupational/non-occupational noise exposure.

P values for comparing the estimated ratios to the null value of one.
