Aims: To study the incidence and degree of sensorineural hearing loss in diabetic, hypertensive patients. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective observational study done for 18 months. The study will be conducted on 50 subjects diagnosed with diabetes, 50 subjects diagnosed with hypertension and 50 subjects with both hypertension and diabetes and 50 normal subjects without hypertension and diabetes. All the subjects in the age group of 20-60 years with diagnosed diabetes, hypertension and normal subjects without hypertension and diabetes both males and females are included in the study. Results: Of 100 patients in the study age of the group with the associated disease is statistically higher in the group without the associated disease. It was found that out of 150 cases with hypertension or diabetes or both in the present study 138 were in the age group of 40- 60 and only 12 cases were between ages 20-40. Patients with hypertension (86%) were at a higher risk of developing SNHL when compared to controls (0%). Conclusion: The importance of preventive processes that may reduce the mechanisms that trigger hearing aid degeneration induced by circulatory problems especially high blood pressure and high blood sugar, and the need for much more information on the regulation of the effects of these comorbidities on hearing are highlighted.&#13;
