Hearing was studied audiometrically in 20 diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy, and the results were compared with those from a group of normal, age-matched subjects. Although the patients gave no history of hearing loss or ear disease, 11 (55%) had symmetrical sensorineural hearing loss involving at least one frequency. Regression analysis demonstrated significantly higher hearing thresholds for the diabetic group at nine of 11 frequencies tested. Decreased hearing acuity in diabetes mellitus may be related to neuropathy of the auditory nerve.
对20名患有周围神经病变的糖尿病患者进行了听力测定研究，并将结果与一组年龄匹配的正常受试者进行了比较。尽管这些患者没有听力损失或耳部疾病史，但11名患者（55%）存在对称性感音神经性听力损失，涉及至少一个频率。回归分析表明，在测试的11个频率中的9个频率上，糖尿病组的听力阈值明显更高。糖尿病患者听力敏锐度下降可能与听神经病变有关。
