There was an error in the Results section of the Abstract which has been amended to the following:

Within the CEE-Alone trial, observed adverse effects of CEE-Alone on change in global cognition did not differ by HL, and estimated joint effects of HL and CEE-Alone were not associated with incident cognitive impairment. Within the CEE+MPA trial, while HL did not independently accelerate time to cognitive impairment, the adverse effect of CEE+MPA on global cognition was heightened in older women with HL. Older women on CEE+MPA either with HL (time ratio [TR] = 0.82, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.71, 0.94) or with normal hearing (TR = 0.86, 95% CI: 0.76, 0.97) had faster time to cognitive impairment than those with normal hearing and placebo.
