The early hearing loss in diabetic patients is not easy to be perceived, therefore, comprehensive and complete audiological examination is necessary. At present, hearing loss in diabetes patients characterized by high frequency decline, some of the examination for high frequency hearing loss such as speech audiometry and extended high frequency are applicated. In addition, electrophysiological techniques have also been rapidly developed in animal experiments. This review summarized the audiological characteristics in diabetes patients and progress in animal experiments, which provided the basis for early diagnosis and early treatment of hearing loss in diabetes mellitus.
糖尿病患者早期的听力损失并不易被察觉，全面而完善的听力学检查十分必要。糖尿病患者听力损失以高频下降为主。目前，一些针对高频听力损失检查如扩展高频及言语测听的研究逐渐增多，此外，电生理检测技术相关动物实验也在迅速开展。本文将对糖尿病患者早期听力损失特点及在动物实验方面的研究进展进行总结，以期为糖尿病患者听力损失的早期诊断提供参考。.
