Abstract: (179 Views) |
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate hearing function using auditory brainstem response (ABR) in patients with diabetes.
Method: The present case-control study was performed on thirty diabetes patients as a case group and thirty healthy individuals as a control group. Baseline demographic information, HbA1c level, and duration of diabetes were obtained from all diabetes patients. In all subjects, the ABR and pure-tone audiometry (PTA) tests were performed and the results were analyzed using the t-test and logistic regression.
Results: The absolute latency of I was significantly lower in diabetes patients. The absolute latency of III and the interpeak latencies (IPL) I-III were significantly higher in diabetic patients. No significant relationship was noticed in the absolute latency of V and the IPL I-V among diabetes patients in the right and left ears.
Conclusion: The results of this study suggested that the diabetes may cause central auditory dysfunction manifested on the absolute latency of III, the IPL I-III and III-V.
