Abstract:
The early hearing loss in diabetic patients is not easy to be perceived, therefore, comprehensive and complete audiological examination is necessary. At present, hearing loss in diabetes patients characterized by high frequency decline, some of the examination for high frequency hearing loss such as speech audiometry and extended high frequency are applicated. In addition, electrophysiological techniques have also been rapidly developed in animal experiments. This review summarized the audiological characteristics in diabetes patients and progress in animal experiments, which provided the basis for early diagnosis and early treatment of hearing loss in diabetes mellitus.
