Effect of glycated hemoglobin over auditory acuity in type 2 diabetes mellitus: a case control study in a tertiary care hospital
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Physiology - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: The fact that Diabetes mellitus induced Hearing loss has been told since years. Long standing diabetes with sustained hyperglycemia results in sensorineural hearing loss. Chronic Hyperglycemia is the underlying pathology in producing diabetic complications. The main objective of this study was to study the auditory thresholds of uncontrolled diabetic subjects and controlled diabetic subjects with Pure Tone Audiometry and compares the differences regarding HbA1c levels. Material and Methods: A hospital based case control study comprising 50 uncontrolled type 2 diabetic subjects and 50 controlled type 2 diabetic subjects. The data collected was entered and analysed using Epi-info (version 3.4.3) software package. Results: Significant effect was noted in uncontrolled type 2 diabetic subjects regarding HbA1c levels on audiometric thresholds using Pure Tone Audiometry in all higher frequencies when compared to controlled type 2 diabetic subjects.
