ABSTRACT

Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases in which elevated levels of glucose in the blood are recorded. This elevation can occur due to insufficient insulin production by pancreatic cells or due to resistance to insulin produced by the pancreas. Patients with diabetes mellitus frequently have symptoms like tinnitus, hearing loss, and dizziness. Sensorineural hearing loss is usual. Although hearing loss has been linked to both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, a direct causal relationship has proven challenging to establish. Hearing loss is twice as common in people with diabetes than it is in people without the disease, and it is 30% more common in people with prediabetes. Angiopathy and neuropathy caused by diabetes mellitus have been considered important factors for the vestibular-cochlear disorders found in these patients. In this report, we will discuss hearing loss due to diabetes and herbal treatment for this hearing loss.
