The aim of this study is to compare the hearing thresholds of the diabetic patients with the age- and sex-matched normal control group regarding age, glucose level, duration and complications of diabetes with the degree of hearing impairment. Pure tone audiometry was performed in 58 patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus and compared with 58 age- and sex-matched controls. The patients were categorized into groups according to age, duration of diabetes, complications and control of diabetes. These observations were compared with those from the control subjects. 15-50 years age group with diabetes showed a significant high frequency hearing loss, as compared to the controls. Complicated and poorly controlled diabetics have significant degree of hearing loss in high frequencies as compared to those who were well controlled and uncomplicated. There was also a correlation between the level of hearing loss and duration of diabetes.
本研究旨在比较糖尿病患者与年龄和性别匹配的正常对照组在听力阈值方面的差异，以评估年龄、血糖水平、糖尿病病程和并发症与听力损伤程度之间的关系。我们对 58 例 1 型和 2 型糖尿病患者进行了纯音测听，并与 58 例年龄和性别匹配的对照组进行了比较。根据年龄、糖尿病病程、并发症和糖尿病控制情况将患者分为不同组别。将这些观察结果与对照组进行比较。结果显示，15-50 岁年龄组的糖尿病患者高频听力损失显著高于对照组。与控制良好且无并发症的患者相比，合并症和控制不良的糖尿病患者高频听力损失程度更为显著。此外，听力损失程度与糖尿病病程之间也存在相关性。
