Hearing acuity was categorized based on pure-tone average (PTA) thresholds: normal (PTA \u2264 25 dB), mild impairment (PTA &amp;gt; 25\u201340 dB), moderate\/severe impairment (PTA &amp;gt; 40 dB).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Of 1,164 participants (mean age 73.5 years, 64% women), 580 (49.8%) had mild hearing impairment and 196 (16.8%) had moderate\/severe hearing impairment. In fully adjusted models, hearing impairment was associated with steeper decline on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) (mild impairment \u03b2 = \u22120.04, p = .01; moderate\/severe impairment \u03b2 = \u22120.08, p = .002) and Trails B (mild impairment \u03b2 = 1.21, p = .003; moderate\/severe impairment \u03b2 = 2.16, p = .003). Associations did not differ by sex or apolipoprotein E (APOE) \u03f54 status and were not influenced by social engagement. The MMSE-hearing association was modified by education: mild hearing impairment was associated with steeper decline on the MMSE among participants without college education but not among those with college education. Moderate\/severe hearing impairment was associated with steeper MMSE decline regardless of education level.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Hearing impairment is associated with accelerated cognitive decline with age, and should be screened for routinely.
