Evaluation of Sensorineural Hearing Loss in Type 2 Diabetics -Prevalence Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science And Advanced Clinical Research (IJMACR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim of the study: This study is aimed to evaluate the prevalence of sensorineural hearing loss in type 2 diabetics and to establish the relationship between age, sex, duration and control of diabetes.Materials and Methods: 60 patients were subjected to pure tone audiometry and evaluation of random blood sugar, glycosylated hemoglobin, lipids, and creatinine. The prevalence of SNHL with relation to age, sex, duration and control of diabetes were analyzed.Results and Interpretation: The prevalence of SNHL in type 2 diabetics was found to be 60% with a mild increase in the prevalence among aged diabetics. Type 2 diabetic males had more prevalence of SNHL. Diabetic duration has a significant effect on the hearing threshold of the subjects. Long term sugar control is a decisive factor in altering the hearing threshold of diabetics.Conclusion: The hearing threshold is increased in a diabetic mainly in high frequencies. There is a strong association between the hearing loss, duration of diabetes and long term sugar Control.
