Abstract (2. Language): 
Introduction: The purpose of our study was to determine the incidence of hearing loss or hearing impairment and possible contributing factors responsible for sensorineural hearing loss in diabetic patients. Methodology: The study was conducted on 50 cases attending medicine & ENT department of JLN Medical College& hospital having diabetes mellitus and 25 healthy volunteers having same inclusion criteria except they are not suffering from diabetes mellitus. These volunteers attended the ENT OPD for ENT services but not for hearing problem. 15 (30%) out of 50 cases of diabetes had sensorneural hearing loss of mild to severe degree in high frequency range which was bilateral & symmetrical. Conclusion: Thus it can be concluded that cochlear dysfunction is an important complication of diabetes mellitus.
