Auditory acuity in type 2 diabetes mellitus

Abstract: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:The relationship between diabetes and hearing loss has been debated for many years. Hyperglycemia appears to have an effect on hearing loss and the proposed mechanisms are microangiopathy, neuropathy or a combination of both. The objective of this study was to evaluate a cross section of hyperglycemic subjects with age- and sex-matched normoglycemic controls with pure tone audiometry and compare the differences.MATERIALS AND METHODS:Forty-one type 2 diabetes mellitus subjects and 41 a… Show more

“…This could be explained by the cumulative effects of advanced glycation end products and their effects on the inner ear [18]. Many studies have been done by various authors to find out the association between Fasting blood sugar and post prandial blood sugar, with that of SNHL [11,19]. Screening of all patients with diabetes for hearing loss in a multicentric longitudinal study in future may provide a clearer understanding of the relationship between diabetes and hearing loss.…”

“…In spite of the wide literature that has been devoted to this topic, the relationship between diabetes and hearing impairment has not been clearly established yet. Although the majority of authors claim that diabetes causes hearing impairment, others suggest that there is no clear association between diabetes and hearing impairment [9][10][11] . However, most of the previous studies explored the relationship between diabetes and hearing impairment using click-evoked auditory brainstem response only [6,7] .…”
