The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between diabetes mellitus and hearing loss which is still controversial. Pure tone audiometry was performed in 75 patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, aged between 14 and 60 years (45 males and 30 females; average age 45.3 years), and in 40 randomly selected sex- and age-matched non-diabetic control subjects, using an Interacoustics Clinical Computer Audiometer Model AC5. The mean duration of diabetes in the study group was 15 +/- 7 years. Complications such as retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy had developed in 64% of the diabetics. Statistical analyses showed that the hearing of the diabetic patients was significantly worse than control subjects. Complications were found to have a significant effect on sensorineural hearing loss in diabetics. The influence of duration of diabetes was noticed on hearing threshold at mid and high frequencies, especially after the first decade of the disease.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.

D001299 Audiometry The testing of the acuity of the sense of hearing to determine the thresholds of the lowest intensity levels at which an individual can hear a set of tones. The frequencies between 125 and 8000 Hz are used to test air conduction thresholds and the frequencies between 250 and 4000 Hz are used to test bone conduction thresholds. Audiometries
