title: [Acoustic dysfunction and microcirculation in patients with diabetes mellitus].
abstract: Modern electrophysiological methods (audiometry and biomicroscopy of the bulbar conjunctiva vessels) have been used in 157 patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) to study the acoustic function and microcirculation. Common vascular reactions of the eyeball and brain allow using the data of biomicroscopy of bulbar conjunctiva vessels for evaluation of cerebral hemodynamics in DM patients. DM causes hearing and microcirculatory disorders. A close correlation exists between duration of DM and disturbances in the acoustic analyzer (microcirculation). This should be considered in planning preventive and therapeutic measures in neurosensory hypoacusis in DM.
