According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) annual meeting reported a Meta-analysis of adult patients with diabetes, the risk of hearing loss in adults without diabetes, 2 times higher than in diabetic patients with hearing loss screening may help to improve their communication skills and quality of life.
The researchers - University of Tsukuba, Japan, Mito, Ibaraki Medical Center, professor of medicine and Dr. Chika Horikawa Hirohito Sone, MD, and colleagues, previous studies have found age-related hearing loss associated with diabetes, but this study is the first strength of this correlation quantitatively.
The Meta-analysis of 13 studies were included, 8 of which are carried out in Asia, five in the Western countries, the total number of 20,061 subjects, of whom there are 7,797 people with diabetes. Nine studies of the general population, four studies for hospitalized patients. These studies are targeted or not by the noise caused by nonspecific onset inherited progressive hearing loss. To cover the 2,000 Hz frequency in the range of measured values pure tone thresholds to determine the hearing loss community. There are three studies in which diabetic patients with the same age and sex matched non-diabetes.
The Meta-analysis showed that diabetes and the occurrence probability of double-related hearing loss. For younger adults or hospitalized patients, the risk is higher. Adults 60 years of age hearing loss in patients with diabetes compared with non-diabetic population the probability is 3 times higher. Hospitalized patients with diabetes increase the risk of hearing loss occurred nearly four-fold. In all subgroups of subjects, diabetes and a positive correlation between hearing loss.
Studies have demonstrated that diabetes can contribute to the progress of visual impairment, the researchers speculate neuropathy or vascular disease may lead to a decreased visual acuity. As if hearing loss is a complication of diabetes, further research is needed to be determined. Focus of future research might include the severity or duration of diabetes and the risk of hearing damage potential relationship between the patients with diabetes will occur in advance of age-related hearing loss, and whether there is good blood glucose control may prevent hearing loss progress.
