“…The researchers identified increased high-frequency hearing loss among the diabetic participants. As they were younger patients, the last finding was not likely to be due to high-frequency hearing loss associated with aging [19].…”

“…However, in spite of these pathological findings in the inner ear, an evaluation of the existing literature showed that the relationship between diabetes and hearing loss is still controversial. While some studies revealed an increased risk of hearing loss in diabetes patients, other studies did not find any differences in hearing loss between controls and diabetes patients [6,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

OBJECTIVE:Considering that both hearing loss and Type 2 diabetes (DM2) are significant health issues, it is worthwhile to examine the relationship between the two. After evaluating the existing literature, it was evident that there have not been sufficient prospective studies about hearing loss and DM2 that include elderly participants. Therefore, the aim of this study was to focus on and evaluate the interaction between DM2 and hearing loss in an elderly population. MATERIALS and METHODS:The current study included 93 DM2 subjects, 65-89 years of age, as well as a control Group of 90 non-diabetic subjects, aged 65-85 years of aged, who were matched to the DM2 subjects by age and sex. RESULTS:The current investigation produced five major findings. The diabetics had higher thresholds for all frequencies, except 0.25 kHz, compared to the controls. Although there were significant differences at low frequencies, such as 0.5 and 1 kHz, the differences were most pronounced at 2, 4, and 8 kHz. The thresholds for speech reception were significantly higher in the diabetics than in the controls. Also, there were no side differences between the right and left ears in the diabetics or the controls, and the diabetics had lower speech discrimination scores than the controls. CONCLUSION:Diabetes is a complex, systemic disease that can affect multiple organs and physiological functions, on molecular and biochemical levels. The current investigation showed that elderly DM2 subjects had poorer hearing levels when compared with age and sex matched non-DM2 subjects.

Objective: High-intensity noise sources with an increase in air traffic and sudden changes in atmospheric pressure can cause hearing loss in pilots. The main goal of this research is to examine hearing loss due to age, the total flight hours and aircraft types and to evaluate the effects of personal conditions that can influence the hearing level. Methods:We examined the data of 234 Turkish pilots aged between 25 and 54 years who were examined due to the aviation Law for annual control from January 2005 to January 2014 at Başkent University Medical Faculty, Ankara Hospital. The audiometric results of the pilots were used. While 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 KHz were used for the airway threshold, 1, 2, and 4 KHz were used for the bone conduction threshold.Results: According to the data of the 234 pilots, there was a significant correlation between high-frequency hearing loss and the total flight hours and pilots' ages. The average hearing loss was higher, particularly in the left ear, in pilots using helicopters than in those using other aircraft types. There was no statistically significant correlation between hearing loss and diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, high blood pressure, anemia, obesity, and smoking.Conclusion: A significant cor relation was observed between high frequency hearing loss and the total flight hours, pilots' age, and aircraft types in our study.
