The Comparison of Hearing Impairment between the Subjects with Type-2 Diabetes and the Subjects without Diabetes, working in Phramongkutklao hospital.
Keywords:
Prevalence, Screening, Hearing impairment, Type-2 DiabetesAbstract
Objective: To determine the prevalence of hearing impairment using screening tests by Weber/Rinne test, Five Minute Hearing test (FMHT) and Calibrated Finger-Rubbing Auditory Screening Test (CALFRAST) comparing between the subjects with type-2 diabetes and the subjects without diabetes and to examine the risk factors of hearing impairment among subjects with type-2 diabetes.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Materials and Methods: Data comes from 372 participants, aged 18-60 years, with diagnosed or undiagnosed diabetes who are working in Phramongkutklao hospital and have had general examination from December, 2019 to January, 2020. We define hearing impairment as the Weber/Rinne tunning fork test is positive and compared with the other tests and identified risk factors of hearing impairment among subjects with type-2 diabetes.
Results: The result shows that the prevalence of hearing impairment in diabetes group compared with non-diabetes group by using Weber/Rinne test is 18.7% and 6% (p-value<0.001). The risk factors of hearing impairment among subject with type-2 diabetes are age (Adjusted OR=1.310, P=0.004, 95%CI=1.088-1.577), male sex (Adjusted OR=7.033, P=0.045, 95%CI=1.043-47.432) and time diagnosis diabetes above 6 years (Adjusted OR=9.119, P=0.032, 95%CI=1.202-69.162).
Conclusions: Hearing impairment should be considered as one of the complications of diabetes mellitus. Diabetes patients should be evaluate for hearing impairment at first time when diagnosis diabetes mellitus and follow-up is necessary in order to early detection and prompt management.
