Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic condition with a potential to injure several organs, such as the eyes, kidneys, heart, blood vessels, nerves, and brain. Therefore, it is possible that these anatomopathological changes due to hyperglycemia may also alter the organs responsible for hearing. This work was carried out to investigate and establish a correlation between Diabetes Mellitus and reduction of auditory acuity, based on the investigation of the hearing threshold and cochlear function of the patients included in the study. This is an observational, analytical, case-control study in which the patients were selected through a chart analysis of the Endocrinology service of the CESUPA Medical Specialties Center. The sample consisted of (10) patients with diabetes mellitus and (10) patients in the control group, regardless of sex, between 18 and 70 years of age, and the study was performed from October 2018 to January 2019. In the present study it was verified that 100% of the hearing losses were of bilateral sensorineural character, with predominance in females aged between 60-70 years, in the case group. Diabetes mellitus type 2 was predominant, corresponding to 90% of the sample in the case group. 60% of the patients observed had DM for more than 10 years; The most prevalent hearing loss was observed in the frequencies of 6 and 8 kHz (70% in both frequencies). The results of the Distortion-Product Otoacoustic Emissions (DPOAEs) exam showed that 10% of the patients in the case group had absent emissions in the left ear and 20% had the same result in the right ear. Among the members of the control group, the percentage of patients with absence of emissions for both the left and right ears is 20%. These results suggest that hearing loss may be related to the metabolic, neurological and circulatory repercussions of Diabetes Mellitus. This fact underscores the importance of the development of researches both for the early diagnosis of Diabetes and for a more solid investigation of the impact on the hearing of patients with the disease.

The reduction of the listening capacity promotes social, cultural, and linguistic barriers, mainly on the access of the deaf community to health, compromising humanized care and welfare. Research on that type of need can resolve those problems. The present study aims to identify the main challenges of deaf people on the access to health in Belém/Pará and the consequences on health education. The methodology of the study was descriptive observational and transversal study, with quantitative approach, using a questionary made by the authors, based on the Likert school, with questions about the accessibility rate, understanding, and independence of those disabled people in health services and the epidemic profile, applying the questionary online, in portuguese and translated in LIBRAS to the deaf community of Belém, over 18 years old, regardless of gender, that uses the health services in Belém, mapped with the help of the “Coordenadoria de Acessibilidade da Universidade Federal do Pará” and the “Captação e Profissionais da Educação e Atendimento à Pessoa Surda Center”, with 27 participants. The demographic results revealed that most participants were women, 20 to 39 years old, from Pará’s capital, with incomplete University education, with advanced or intermediary Portuguese knowledge, using mostly public service, and having for main communication oral speak, labial lectures,s, and LIBRAS. The results about the main difficulty factors on access to health services show the unprepared professionals and the lack of structural services, like translators and assistencial technologies. Regarding the medical appointments, the results show that all services are given none satisfy experiences. Therefore, mostly the participants consider mandatory LIBRAS knowledge. It was concluded that the difficult access of the deaf community to the health service is pertinent and it becomes the development of more studies aimed at this population to support the search for greater professionalization of health workers treated to the accessibility and integration of minorities, as well as technical assistance measures.
