Diabetic hearing loss is characterized by elevated auditory thresholds and decreased speech discrimination, indicating both cochlear and retrocochlear issues.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Diabetology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Diabetes mellitus is a systemic disease with potential complications affecting various organs.
  • Auditory dysfunction is an emerging complication of diabetes, impacting hearing health.
  • Understanding the specific nature of hearing impairment in diabetics is crucial for early intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate and characterize the auditory function in individuals with diabetes mellitus.
  • To compare audiological findings between diabetic patients and age- and sex-matched non-diabetic controls.
  • To determine the presence of cochlear and/or retrocochlear pathology in diabetic hearing impairment.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Bekesy audiometry, impedance audiometry with stapedius reflex testing, and speech discrimination tests.

  • Recorded electrocochleography (ECochG) and brain stem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP).
  • Compared results from 43 diabetic patients against 43 matched non-diabetic controls.

    • Main Results:

    • Diabetic participants showed significantly elevated average pure-tone thresholds, subjective click thresholds, and action potential (AP) reactive thresholds.
    • Average speech discrimination scores were significantly reduced in the diabetic group.
    • Diabetic hearing impairment presented as high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss.

    Conclusions:

    • Diabetic hearing impairment involves both cochlear and retrocochlear pathways.
    • Diabetes is associated with significant auditory dysfunction, particularly affecting high-frequency hearing.
    • Comprehensive audiological evaluation is recommended for diabetic patients to detect and manage hearing loss.
