Purpose:
|
Retinopathy is one of the major complications of diabetes mellitus. Microangiopathy beside neuropathy affects the hearing of diabetics. This study is aimed to identify the relationship between sensori-neural hearing loss (SNHL) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy in type II of diabetics.
|
Methods:
|
We created a 72-member group of diabetics and a 36-member group of non diabetics as control. Based on retinal examination, we separated diabetics into 2 subgroups as proliferative and nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy. By Pure Tone Audiometry of the two groups and based on audiograms we measured the average for three frequencies for all 108 cases and compared to normal measures. We classified cases into 4 subgroups, mild, moderate, moderate to severe and severe based on their audiogram drop.
|
Results:
|
Our study showed there is relationship between diabetes and SNHL. More than 86% of the control group was good at hearing. 33.3% o the diabetics suffered from SNHL. In our study, similar to previous ones, SNHL was bilateral but only in right ear it seemed to be significant. We also studied how retinopathy and blood sugar control affect SNHL that we found these two parameters are irrelevant with SNHL.
|
Conclusion:
|
Upon this study, hearing examination should be considered in diabetics. A based audiogram and routine audiograms seems to be necessary. Hearing aid devices may help these people not to suffer and morbid.
