Glucose metabolism has a significant impact on inner ear physiology, and small changes may result in hearing and balance disorders.
To investigate vestibulocochlear symptoms in patients with type I diabetes mellitus.
a cross-sectional study of a contemporary group.
30 patients referred from Clinical Hospital-UFPR to the Laboratory of Otoneurology-UTP between Mar/2004 to Feb/2005 were evaluated. The following procedures were carried out: a medical history, otological inspections, audiometry, acoustic impedance tests, and vestibular function tests.
The prevalence of otoneurologic complaints was: headache (23.3%), vertigo (16.6%), and tinnitus (13.3%). The prevalence of associated complaints and habits was: caffeine abuse (20.0%), allergies (10.0%), and alcohol abuse (10.0%). The prevalence of normal auditory thresholds was 90.0%. Acoustic impedance showed no changes. The vestibular test showed changes in 60.0% of cases. Peripheral vestibular deficiency syndromes were also found.
Significant vestibular system changes were found (60.0%) compared to the auditory system (10.0%). Audiometry revealed mostly normal results. The vestibular test showed changes in the peripheral vestibular system and the peripheral vestibular deficiency syndrome.

对当代群体的横断面研究。
评估了2004年3月至2005年2月间从临床医院 - 巴拉那联邦大学转诊至耳神经学实验室 - 巴拉那理工大学的30例患者。进行了以下检查：病史采集、耳科检查、听力测定、声阻抗测试和前庭功能测试。
耳神经学主诉的患病率为：头痛（23.3%）、眩晕（16.6%）和耳鸣（13.3%）。相关主诉和习惯的患病率为：咖啡因滥用（20.0%）、过敏（10.0%）和酒精滥用（10.0%）。正常听觉阈值的患病率为90.0%。声阻抗无变化。前庭测试显示60.0%的病例有变化。还发现了外周前庭功能减退综合征。
与听觉系统（10.0%）相比，前庭系统有显著变化（60.0%）。听力测定结果大多正常。前庭测试显示外周前庭系统有变化以及外周前庭功能减退综合征。
