The purpose of this study was to evaluate the auditory brain stem response (ABR) and acoustic emissions of the inner ear (OAE) in middle-aged type 2 diabetics.
Fifty type 2 diabetic and nondiabetic patients aged 40-50 years and attending the Tabriz Medical University outpatient clinics were recruited for this study during 2009-2010. All ABR and OAE procedures were implemented by an audiometrist. The relationship between ABR and OAE findings and demographic, laboratory, and clinical characteristics was investigated.
Fifty patients (34 female and 16 male) of average age 45.7 ± 3.0 years were entered into the study. In the type 2 diabetic group, disordered ABR was found in at least one ear in 8% of cases and disordered OAE was recorded in at least one ear in 16% of cases, with no significant difference between the diabetic and nondiabetic groups. Mean age, duration of diabetes, serum HbA(1c) levels, and prevalence of female gender were higher in the diabetic group.
According to our findings, the prevalence of ABR and OAE is not significantly different between type 2 diabetics and nondiabetics.
本研究旨在评估中年 2 型糖尿病患者的听觉脑干反应(ABR)和内耳声发射(OAE)。
2009 年至 2010 年期间,我们招募了 50 名年龄在 40-50 岁之间的 2 型糖尿病和非糖尿病患者,他们均在大不里士医科大学门诊就诊。所有 ABR 和 OAE 程序均由听力学家执行。研究调查了 ABR 和 OAE 结果与人口统计学、实验室和临床特征之间的关系。
本研究纳入了 50 名患者(34 名女性和 16 名男性),平均年龄为 45.7 ± 3.0 岁。在 2 型糖尿病组中,至少一只耳朵的 ABR 异常的发生率为 8%,至少一只耳朵的 OAE 异常的发生率为 16%,但糖尿病组和非糖尿病组之间无显著差异。糖尿病组的平均年龄、糖尿病病程、血清 HbA1c 水平和女性比例均较高。
根据我们的研究结果,2 型糖尿病患者和非糖尿病患者的 ABR 和 OAE 发生率无显著差异。
