Hearing Status in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus According to Blood-Sugar Control: A Comparative Study.

Abstract

DM and poor control status of diabetes can affect hearing sensation and cause hearing loss, especially at high frequencies. According to our findings, it seems that diabetic patients with a duration of diabetes >10 years, diabetic complications, poor control status or comorbidities should undergo both endocrine and audiologic follow-up to prevent greater sensory neural hearing loss.
