“…Similar results were observed in other studies. 1,7,13 In one study done in Iran, 1500 diabetes patients had significant hearing loss in high frequencies (4000-8000 Hz) as compared to those of control groups and the hearing loss was more in complicated diabetic patients. 4 The probability of hearing loss in patients with diabetes is twice as high as in healthy people suggesting hearing loss as a complication of diabetes.…”

Introduction: The association of hearing loss and diabetes has been under research for many years. The hearing loss in diabetes in our population has not been studied extensively. The objective of this study was to compare the hearing threshold between type 2 diabetic patients and age- and sexmatched controls. Materials and Methods: A comparative study was done in the Department of ENT, Kathmandu Medical College from October 2019 to February 2020. The hearing threshold, of 40 type 2 diabetics patients, and 40 age- and sex-matched healthy controls in the age group of 35 to 55 years, were assessed by pure tone audiometry. The hearing threshold was compared between the two groups by using the student’s unpaired t-test. Results: Among 40 diabetes patients, 29 (72.5 %) had bilateral, mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss. The hearing threshold in diabetes patients was signifi cantly higher than the healthy controls in all the frequencies except at 250 Hz. When comparing the threshold according to the duration of diabetes, it was found to be signifi cantly higher only at higher frequencies (4000 and 8000 Hz) in diabetes with more than 5 years duration. Conclusions: The hearing loss was common in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Most diabetic patients had mostly bilateral mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss affecting hearing thresholds in higher frequencies than the healthy controls as assessed by pure tone audiometry.

“…6 Even though there is a clear association of diabetes mellitus with other complications, there are still uncertainty in establishing its relationship with hearing dysfunction. 7 Therefore, the aim of this study was to use pure tone audiometry to compare hearing threshold between patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and age-and sex-matched controls.…”

“…These degenerative changes include atrophy in the axon, demyelinization, loss of nerve fibers that can develop even in the early stages. [3][4] The auditory system requires glucose and high-energy utilization for its complex signal processing. Hearing loss in the context of type 2 diabetes may result from microangiopathic processes that follow deposition of glucoprotein due to hyperglycemia in small blood vessels, impacting neurological function.…”

“…One of the risk factors for adult hearing loss is diabetes mellitus (DM), which is a group of metabolic abnormalities characterized by chronic hyperglycemia due to absolute (DM type 1) and relative (DM type 2) insulin deficiency, with primary disorders of carbohydrate metabolism and secondary disorders of fat and protein metabolism. [1][2][3] The association of DM with hearing loss was first reported with varied incidence of sensorineural hearing loss in patients with DM, ranging from 0% to 93%. In this study the incidence of diabetes with loss of hearing and balance in 69 diabetic patients was 28 patients with sensorineural deafness (40.5%) associated with diabetes.…”

Background: Chronic hyperglycemia is associated with a long term damage, dysfunction or failure of several organs, which is a degenerative disorder caused by persistent hyperglycemia. Complications also can cause interference with the threshold of hearing. These degenerative changes include atrophy of axons, demyelinization, and loss of nerve fibers. Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between long suffering diabetes mellitus and hearing thresholds based on its frequency. Methods: This study was a cross sectional design on patients with diabetes mellitus in the Internal Medicine Clinic and Otorhinolaryngology Department Dr. Sardjito General Hospital Yogyakarta from early November 2010 until the end of June 2011. Inclusion criterion were: 1) >50 years old 2) normal physical ENT examination, 3) all DM types, 4) Sensorineural (Perceptive) Hearing Loss, 5) Right and left ear gap audiogram less than 15dB, and 6) agreed to participate. Mean difference such as age and duration of DM were assessed by using independent t test and Mann Whitney test. Distribution of sex and educational level were assessed by using Chi square test and Fisher's Exact test. Correlation between duration suffering diabetes mellitus and hearing threshold was assessed by the Spearman and Pearson method. Results: Subjects participated in this research were 25 (41.7%) men and 35 (58.3%) women. Result of this study showed that there were correlation between long suffering DM and hearing thresholds at 2000Hz : (r=0.459, p=0.097), 4000Hz (r=0.4966, p=0.098), and 6000Hz (r=0.757, p=0.422), respectively. Conclusion: It is can be concluded that there is a positive correlation between long suffering DM and hearing threshold, especially after 6 years. Latar Belakang: Hiperglikemia kronis berkaitan dengan kerusakan jangka panjang, disfungsi atau kegagalan beberapa organ, karena neuropati diabetes, yang merupakan gangguan degeneratif disebabkan oleh hiperglikemia persisten. Perubahan degeneratif ini meliputi atrofi akson, demyelinisasi, dan hilangnya serabut saraf. Tujuan Penelitian: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan hubungan antara lama menderita diabetes melitus dan ambang pendengaran berdasarkan frekuensinya. Metode: Desain penelitian ini cross sectional pada pasien diabetes mellitus
