Audiological Implications of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Narrative Review of Hearing Loss in Adults

Abstract Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a prevalent metabolic disorder associated with multiple systemic complications, including auditory dysfunction. Emerging evidence suggests a significant association between T2DM and hearing loss, particularly sensorineural hearing loss in adults (Bainbridge et al., 2008; Kakarlapudi et al., 2003). This narrative review aims to explore the audiological implications of T2DM, focusing on underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, patterns of hearing impairment, and clinical considerations for audiological practice. Literature was reviewed from electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Findings indicate that chronic hyperglycemia may contribute to microvascular damage, neuropathy, and oxidative stress affecting cochlear structures (Lisowska et al., 2001; Fukushima et al., 2006). Audiological assessments commonly reveal bilateral, progressive, high-frequency hearing loss among diabetic individuals (Dalton et al., 1998). Additionally, poor glycemic control and longer disease duration are associated with greater auditory deficits (Akinpelu et al., 2014). Early identification through routine audiological screening is essential for timely intervention. Audiologists play a critical role in monitoring hearing function and providing rehabilitative support. The review highlights the need for interdisciplinary management and increased awareness of hearing health in diabetic care.
