Tinnitus and the diabetic individual: a review

Tinnitus infact is a sound that is heard inside the head and not having an external source of origin. It is an unwelcome sensation that irritates continuously and dubious modalities have been advocated for its management. In the diabetic there is a multi-system involvement, with a major brunt, on the neural pathways and receptors. In the audiological region, a vital component of the nervous system, there is a high likelihood of onset of tinnitus, in subjects with underlying type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
