Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic, long-term disease causing consistently elevated blood glucose levels due to inadequate insulin production, targeting people of all ages, genders, and geographical areas worldwide. DM raises the incidence of sensor neural hearing loss (SNHL) in adult population. The present cross-sectional and observational study focused on the prevalence of DM, its impact on hearing ability, complications, and risk factors that contribute to the chronic condition of DM across the population of City Rawalakot, Azad Jamu &Kashmir. The status of DM and hearing ability was evaluated using a combination of HbA1c and pure tone audiometry (PTA) test, respectively, while data on the risk factors and complications were collected via questionnaire. Results of the present study suggested that out of 200 individuals, 60% were diabetic and 40% were non diabetic individuals. The study found a significant trend in DM prevalence as people age, with females having a higher prevalence(55%) compared to males (45%). Diabetes is strongly associated with SNHL, with a highly significant P-value (9 years) and poor glycemic control (HbA1c>8) adversely affected the hearing ability. DM is strongly linked (P>0.05) to various health- related complications, including retinopathy, nephropathy urinary tract infections. Moreover, hypertension, anxiety, stress, and a sedentary lifestyle are significant risk factors for DM.
