This study aimed to evaluate retinal layer neurodegeneration and hearing impairment in the general Korean population using cognitive assessments.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>This cross-sectional, retrospective study included participants who underwent Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA), and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Participants were categorized into three groups based on MMSE scores: control group (MMSE\u2009&gt;\u200927), mild cognitive impairment (MCI, MMSE 23\u201327), and dementia group (MMSE\u2009&lt;\u200923). PTA thresholds were computed using the weighted four-frequency average formula (0.5\u00a0kHz, 1\u00a0kHz, 2\u00a0kHz, and 4\u00a0kHz). OCT images were analyzed to measure the Ganglion Cell Inner Plexiform Layer (GC-IPL), Peripapillary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer (ppRNFL), and total macular thickness. These sensory parameters were compared across the three groups.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A total of 196 participants were included, with a mean age of 67.0\u2009\u00b1\u200910.4 years. MMSE scores showed an inverse correlation with both age and PTA thresholds, and a positive correlation with OCT parameters (all <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;.05). After adjusting for age, significant differences in PTA thresholds were observed across all groups. However, significant reductions in OCT parameters and best-corrected visual acuity were only seen in the dementia group compared to the control and MCI groups (all <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;.05).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Sensory assessments are reliable indicators of cognitive function, with hearing loss emerging as a more consistent and sensitive predictor of early functional decline than retinal thickness measurements.
