Tarun, Naveen Sharma, Uma Garg

Abstract :

 

Diabetes  mellitus  is  a  multisystemic  disease  associated  with  many  complications.  One  of  the  known  complications  is  heå  impairment.  This  study  done  in  a  tertiary  care  hospital  aims  to  evaluate  the  association  between  Type  2  Diabetes  mellitus  and  heå  loss.  A  total  of  100  subjects ( 50  known  diabetics  and  50  age  and  sex  matched  controls )  were  studied.  Results  showed  that  the  mean  threshold  of  heå  was  higher  in  diabetics.  High  prevalence  of  heå  loss  in  Diabetes  mellitus  supports  the  need  of  audiometric  evaluation  in  such  patients  so  that  early  intervention  can  be  done.
