Abstract :
Diabetes–related sensorineural heå impairment affects people’s ability to hear and understand sounds. We carried out this case control study with the purpose of determining the heå loss in type II diabetes mellitus in relation to the Age of the patients using tuning fork tests and pure tone audiometry. Aim: To study the heå loss in type II diabetics and controls. Objectives:1. To study the heå loss in relation to diabetics and controls. 2. To study the effect of age on heå loss in diabetic patients Material and Methods: 50 diabetic patients and 50 age and sex matched controls took part in the study. They were evaluated by Tuning fork tests and Pure Tone Audiometry. Results: The heå of diabetics was significantly impaired than the non–diabetic control group. This heå impairment was noted in all the frequencies tested. The heå loss was significant in both ears patients with age above 41 years. Conclusion: Type 2 diabetes causes significant heå loss in the patients, and it is affected by the Age of the patient.
