Hearing loss (HL) is a prevalent health concern with a significant impact on society and the economy. Several factors contribute to the development of hearing impairment, with noise overexposure being the primary culprit. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is also a factor in hearing impairment, and studies have shown a positive correlation between DM and HL; however, the exact causal relationship and pathogenesis remain contentious. Given the ubiquity of noise exposure and the high incidence of DM, individuals may develop diabetes while being chronically exposed to noise. It is particularly important to explore the independent and combined effects of noise and DM on hearing, which can help healthcare professionals understand the potential risks posed by these factors and inspire prevention strategies and potential interventions for hearing impairment. This review summarizes the current research advancements in noise-induced HL and diabetes-related HL and discusses their characteristics and potential mechanisms. Furthermore, this review focuses on the combined effects of noise exposure and DM on hearing, setting the stage for further research and development of intervention strategies to address HL.
听力损失（HL）是一个普遍存在的健康问题，对社会和经济有着重大影响。有几个因素会导致听力障碍的发生，其中过度暴露于噪音是主要原因。糖尿病（DM）也是导致听力障碍的一个因素，研究表明DM与HL之间存在正相关；然而，确切的因果关系和发病机制仍存在争议。鉴于噪音暴露的普遍性和DM的高发病率，个体可能在长期接触噪音的同时患上糖尿病。探索噪音和DM对听力的独立和联合影响尤为重要，这有助于医疗保健专业人员了解这些因素所带来的潜在风险，并激发针对听力障碍的预防策略和潜在干预措施。本综述总结了目前关于噪声性HL和糖尿病相关性HL的研究进展，并讨论了它们的特点和潜在机制。此外，本综述重点关注噪音暴露和DM对听力的联合影响，为进一步研究和开发针对HL的干预策略奠定基础。
