Fig. 1

The figure depicts the relationships between changes in FD metrics (FractalDimC, FractalDimCa, and FractalDimCv) and hearing thresholds at 1 kHz, 2 kHz, 4 kHz, 8 kHz, and the hFI. The y-axis shows the change in hearing thresholds per 1-SD increase in FD, where a negative change denotes improved hearing acuity. Error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals. FractalDimC, FractalDimCa, and FractalDimCv represent the complexity of the retinal vascular network in various regions, illustrating that higher FD is linked to lower hearing thresholds across the frequency range.
