Description
Introduction: Diabetes (type 2) and sensorineural hearing loss are common health problems manifested with ageing. While both type 1 and type 2 diabetes have been associated with hearing loss, a causal link has been difficult to establish. Aim and Objective: To analyze the occurrence of sensorineural hearing loss among patients with DM and find a correlation between the degree of hearing loss and the duration and type of DM. Materials and Method: This was a hospital based cross sectional study conducted on 130 individuals with hearing-impairment, visited to the department of ENT in association with department of community medicine, Mahavir Institute of medical hospital and tertiary care centre, Vikarabad and for duration of 1 year, after approved by institutional ethical committee and consented by study participants after following inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: In the study out of 130 individuals with type 2 diabetes, majority of patients were from age group of 51-70 years, predominantly male compared to female. Prevalence of Sensorineural hearing loss was observed 56.9% and almost 26.9% of the patients had duration of diabetes was more than equal to 10 years and association between type of hearing loss with age and duration of diabetes mellitus was statistically highly significant. Conclusion: Sensorineural hearing loss was more common in patients with diabetes (Type 2). The early detection of hearing loss in type 2 diabetes mellitus, using PTA, may help to avoid deafness and its further progression.
