Introduction: Hearing loss is the fourth leading cause of disability in the world, with more than a billion people with some degree of loss, resulting in high annual costs. The auditive deficit can be a consequence of infections, genetic and environmental factors and comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus (DM). Although the role of DM in hearing loss is still uncertain, studies suggest that diabetic microangiopathy and neuropathy are involved. Objective: Evaluate the audiometric profile of patients with DM treated at an outpatient clinic in Curitiba-PR. Methods: Cross-sectional observational study evaluating 41 diabetic patients between April 2020 and March 2021 regarding hearing complaints, presence of comorbidities and degree and type of hearing loss. Results: The mean age was 66.3 years, being 63.4% female and the mean value of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was 7.67%. 82.9% of patients had tinnitus and 68.3% had hearing loss. 36.6% had hypertension, while 80.5% had dyslipidemia. As for the diabetes control, 65.9% had a HbA1c ≥ 7%. Conclusions: DM may be associated with hearing loss, however, it is not possible to verify a clear correlation between cause and effect. Thus, further studies with more extensive and detailed data are necessary.
