Interaction Between Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus in the Pathogenesis of Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to support the hypothesis that diabetic end-organ damage of the cochlea is augmented in the setting of hypertension. A historical perspective reviewing the effects of diabetes and hypertension as causative factors in the development of sensorineural hearing loss, as well as the basic epidemiology and pathophysiology of the renal and vascular effects of diabetes and hypertension, is presented. The results of audiologic findings in insulin-dependent diabetic patients, both normotensi… Show more

“…[9] Diabetic patients preserve a normal hearing function until diabetic neuropathy developed; since National Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy and Pharmacologythen the nerve degeneration, related to decrease in circulating nerve growth factor, leads to a progressive impairment of the auditory pathway with consequent hearing deficit. [10] A simple and non-invasive technique is brainstem evoked response audiometry (BERA) to find out early impairment of acoustic nerve and central nervous system (CNS) pathway, even in the absence of specific symptoms. BERA is a recording of the synchronized response of a large number of neurons in the lower portion of auditory pathway and can evaluate electrophysiologically any lesions from acoustic nerve to the brainstem to show subclinical variances and central neuropathy in diabetics.…”

“…[22] There are other co-morbidities more commonly seen in diabetic patients that may affect hearing. The study by Duck et al [23] described a synergistic effect of high blood pressure in influencing the hearing system in patients with diabetes. In Lerman-Garber et al's trial, [24] hypertension was present in 26.1%, hypertriglyceridemia in 67.4% and low HDL cholesterol in 78.3% of type 2 diabetic patients.…”

“…Many authors have found an association between arterial hypertension and hearing loss (14,17,28,29) whereas others contradict these results (12,21,27) . There are few studies regarding dyslipidemia and hearing impairment.…”
