Background: High blood glucose levels are found to derange the vessels found in the stria vascularis and adjacentnerves thus it results into diminished ability to hear Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent the severity orpermanent hearing loss.Method: 40 adult patients aged between 30 to 50 years were studied by pure tone audiometry. By audiometry thedegree, type and configuration of hearing was assessed. Ear examination was done by otoscopy followed by puretone audiometry.Results: 20 (50%) patients had moderate, 12 (30%) had moderate severe, 8 (20%) severe hearing loss. The associatedclinical manifestations were 13 (32.5%) parasthesia, 10 (25%) skin disease, 8 (20%) visual problems, 9 (22.5%) lackof sleep.Conclusion: This pragmatic study with different degree of hearing loss will be helpful to ENT surgeon to assessthe severity and treat efficiently to prevent the complications of hearing loss.
