    Abstract

    Background: Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a type of hearing impairment that occurs due to damage to the inner ear. The present study was conducted to assess sensorineural hearing loss in type II diabetes mellitus patients. Materials & Methods: 74 type II diabetes mellitus patients of both genders were subjected to Tuning fork test ,pure tone audiometry and impedence audiometer test to detect sensorineural hearing loss. The level of glycated hemoglobin was measured. Results: Out of 74 patients, males were 44 and females were 30. Sensorineural hearing loss was present in 12 patients with <7 HBA1c levels, 15 patients with 7-8 HBA1c levels and 20 patients with >8 HBA1c levels. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: There was association between sensorineural hearing loss and uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. Sensorineural hearing loss in diabetes mellitus was usually gradually progressive involving high frequency thresholds.
