aThe four-frequency average (0.5, 1, 2, and 4 kHz) for each ear was calculated. Abbreviations: aMCI, amnestic mild cognitive impairment; PTA, pure-tone average; PET, positron emission tomography; SD, standard deviation; SNSB, Seoul Neuropsychologic Screening Batter; WRS, word recognition score. *p <0.05, **p <0.01, ***p <0.001.
