Purpose: To evaluate the association between age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) and sensory neural hearing impairment (SHI).
Methods: In this case-control study, hearing status of 46 consecutive patients with ARMD were compared with 46 age-matched cases without clinical ARMD as a control group. In all patients, retinal involvements were confirmed by clinical examination, fluorescein angiography (FA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT).
