“…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. 14 In this study, the mean hearing threshold was significantly higher at 4000 Hz and 8000 Hz in diabetic patients with the duration of diabetes for more than 5 years. According to Ozkurt FE et al, it takes at least 5 years after the diagnosis of diabetes to show the effect on hearing threshold.…”

“…According to Ozkurt FE et al, it takes at least 5 years after the diagnosis of diabetes to show the effect on hearing threshold. 14 On contrary to these findings, the studies done in India reported that the duration of diabetes had no impact on the hearing threshold in diabetic patients. 1,13 It is postulated that the duration of poor glycemic control is more important than the duration of diabetes mellitus itself.…”

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.

Objectives To assess the relationship of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Databases Reviewed Ovid MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane. Methods A systematic review was performed. Studies were identified using Ovid MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane from 1946 to 2023. Per Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, abstracts were screened for primary review. Full texts were reviewed for secondary review. Results There were 3,440 unique abstracts screened. After primary review of abstracts and secondary full text review, 68 articles were included. The relationship between SNHL and the following CVDs, risk factors, and interventions were ascertained: coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, coronary artery disease (CAD), carotid stenosis (CS), myocardial infarction (MI), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), other arteriosclerosis, cerebral small vascular disease, cerebrovascular accident (CVA), transient ischemic attack (TIA), peripheral vascular disease (PVD), hyperlipidemia (HLD), hypertension (HTN), and diabetes mellitus (DM). CABG and CAD were consistently associated with SNHL. DM was associated with SNHL, but HTN and HLD were not consistently associated. Conclusions There is a complex relationship between CVDs and SNHL. CABG and CAD were consistently associated with SNHL. DM was associated with SNHL, but other CVD risk factors (HTN and HLD) did not appear to consistently correlate with SNHL, raising consideration that SNHL is a later finding in those with CVD.

Background/Objectives: Conventional audiometry assesses hearing in the frequency range of 250–8000 Hz, while humans can detect sounds from 20 to 20,000 Hz. Hearing sensitivity above 8000 Hz can be assessed through “Extended high-frequency audiometry (EHFA)”, which is useful for early detection and monitoring of hearing loss and counseling for tinnitus patients. Despite its usefulness, age significantly affects hearing sensitivity. Currently, there are no standard hearing thresholds in the EHF range categorized by age groups in Thailand. In this study, the aim was to determine normative EHFA data across different age groups in a healthy Thai population. Methods: This study included 134 participants aged 18–70 years, categorized into five age groups. All participants had normal hearing thresholds and type A tympanograms bilaterally. Following this, EHFA measurement was performed. Results: Across all age groups, there was an observed increase in median hearing thresholds as age increased. In comparison, no significant difference in median hearing thresholds was found between individuals aged 18–30 and >30–40 years. However, those over 40 years had significantly higher median thresholds across all frequencies compared to those under 40 years (p < 0.05). Based on these findings, we propose two new subgroups of 18–40 years and >40–70 years. Median hearing thresholds for those aged 18–40 was ≤20 dB HL across most frequencies, except at 16,000 Hz (30 dB HL). In the >40–70 age group, thresholds ranged from 20 dB HL at 9000 Hz to 70 dB HL at 14,000 and 16,000 Hz. However, no significant differences were found in hearing thresholds between sexes and ear sides. Conclusions: In this study, normative EHFA data were established for healthy Thai adults, appropriately divided into two groups (18–40 and >40–70 years) for clinical use. Further studies with more participants per age group are also needed to validate the results.
