Hearing loss is a very common problem worldwide affecting all age groups & leading to marked disability and handicap. The WHO lists hearing loss in the 20 leading causes of burden of disease and as most common cause of disability worldwide. A person who is not able to hear and with hearing thresholds of 25dB is said to have hearing loss. This hearing loss can be of mild, moderate, severe or profound degree and depending on pathways of sound transmission disturbed – hearing loss can be conductive, sensorineural or mixed type. Common causes of include occlusion of external auditory canal, tympanic membrane perforation and ossicular discontinuity and xity, congenital or caused by trauma, infections of inner ear, ototoxic drugs and systemic diseases like diabetes, multiple sclerosis, syphilis and autoimmune disorders etc. Diabetes Mellitus is one of the common cause of hearing loss among people of different age group.Failure to report along with insufcient medical history collection and confounding variables such as age, sex, duration of diabetes, glycemic control, smoking led to difculty in establishing relationship between diabetes and sensorineural hearing loss. Thus, the present study was conducted to evaluate the relation and degree of sensorineural hearing loss with Diabetes Mellitus along with its severity. Also, to draw attention to sub clinical hearing loss which often goes unnoticed until it is too late to arrest/slow down its progression. MATERIALAND METHODS
