Evaluation of an association between type II diabetes mellitus and sensorineural hearing impairment in population<60 years age at tertiary care hospital
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Connection between type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) has been studied. Microangiopathy with neuronal degeneration are important factor. Aims and Objectives: To find out association of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with SNHL along different frequencies in elderly population. Materials and Method: It is an Observational Case Control Study. Study is carried out in 200 patients. Out of these 100 cases of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and 100 are Nondiabetic controls of age group 30 to 60 years at Tertiary Care Hospital. Results: There is strong association between (SNHL) and type 2 diabetes. Chi Square = 24.62, p value <0.0001. There is significant association between (SNHL) with Duration of diabetes, HbA1C, Triglyceride Levels, Low Density Lipoprotein, serum Creatinine and microalbuminuria independently. There is no significant association between (SNHL) with Age, Sex, Random blood sugar and Cholesterol levels. Conclusion: SNHL is prevalent in 64% of type II Diabetes Mellitus patients with male preponderance. Long term diabetics and elders with dearranged lipids and creatinine levels are having more hearing impairment as compared to newly detected diabetics. Short term sugar control is found to have a negligible effect on SNHL.
