“…Such complications usually appear after 10 years of hyperglycaemic state. [17] This agrees with the pattern observed with other microvascular complications of diabetes [13] Over time, high blood sugar levels lead to damage to small blood vessels and nerves in the inner ear, however, low blood sugar over time can cause damage to the transfer of nerve signals from the inner ear to your brain. Both types of nerve damage can lead to hearing loss.…”

“…This difference in the finding of two studies can be attributed to the fact that their study included older patients as compared to the present study. [13] The number of patients with mild, moderate and moderately severe hearing loss was non-significantly different between the groups. None of the patients in both the groups was found to have severe or profound hearing loss.…”

Introduction: Hearing defects can cause inconvenience in communication which can have prodigious impact on the psychological, social and emotional functions. The increasing incidence of diabetes and profound effect of hearing loss on quality of life mandates the need to study the possible association between the two. Materials and method: An observational study was conducted including 100 participants such that 50 were non-diabetic (group A) and another 50 were diabetic. The participants of two groups were matched for age and gender. The Random Blood Sugar, HbA1c, Pure Tone Audiometry were assessed. The statistical analysis of data was done using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) 21.0 version, IBM, Chicago. Results: The median age of the participants belonging to group A and B was 39.0 years and 40.0 years respectively. No significant association was observed between the presence or absence of diabetes and hearing loss (Chi-square value- 2.1, df-3, p value>.05). Amongst the patients with diabetes, the HbA1c level was found to have no significant association with the severity of hearing loss (Chi-square value- 9.243, df-4, p value>.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that there is no significant difference in hearing loss amongst the persons with and without diabetes.

“…The mean pure tone increases with increase in duration of diabetes, the difference in means of various intervals of duration of type 2 DM was found to be statistically significant, but did not specify each frequency. [12][13] Pemmaiah et al (2011) obtained the correlation between duration of DM and sensorineural hearing loss at 2000 Hz and 4000 Hz. They showed a statistically significant correlation at 0.01 level (Pearson coefficient r = 0.561 and r = 0.727 respectively).…”

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

“…2 The proposed mechanisms leading to hearing loss in diabetes mellitus are microangiopathy of the inner ear, neuropathy of the cochlear nerve, dysfunction of outer hair cell, and disruption of endolymphatic potential. 3,4 Pure tone audiometry (PTA) is an important hearing test which determines the hearing threshold levels in an individual. This subjective test helps in characterizing the degree, type and configuration of hearing loss.…”

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.
