| ABSTRACT |
|
The objective of the review study was to assess whether a relationship exists between diabetes mellitus (DM) and hearing impairment.
And we would investigate the cause of hearing impairment under diabetes mellitus. At the beginning of 1990, there were not
several evidences, but there were many evidences of hearing loss by diabetes mellitus at the late of 1990. In the clinical study, hearing
impairment was due to duration of DM, hyperglycemia, aging, and poor control of DM. There are many peripheral sensory nerves
including auditory sensory nerves all over the body. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is recognized as the most common complications
of DM. Auditory neuropathy in diabetic peripheral neuropathy is often characterized by normal thresholds, present otoacoustic emission,
poor speech discrimination, absents acoustic reflexes, absents or abnormal auditory brainstem response waveform. It may be
needed to ABR (auditory brainstem response) test for the early detection of hearing impairment under the diabetic complications. |
