Differences in mean better-hearing–ear hearing thresholds between participants with Fuchs corneal dystrophy and population-based controls.
| Hearing | Estimate (dB HL) | Lower CI (dB HL) | Upper CI (dB HL) | p value: difference = 0 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PTA a | 0.19 | −1.25 | 1.62 | .798 |
| Individual frequencies | ||||
| 0.5 kHz | 3.49 | 1.83 | 5.15 | < .0001* |
| 1 kHz | 1.12 | −0.41 | 2.64 | .1530 |
| 2 kHz | −0.87 | −2.74 | 1.00 | .3628 |

| 8 kHz | −11.11 | −14.23 | −7.98 | < .0001* |
Note. Models were adjusted for age, sex, race, and noise exposure.

PTA was defined as a four-frequency (0.5, 1, 2, and 4 kHz) pure-tone average in the better-hearing ear.
