Diabetes and Hearing Loss Link

A recent medical review has shown that hearing impairment is a hidden and common complication of type 2 diabetes. One-quarter of patients with the condition experience this issue, which poses greater risks for individuals under 60 years old who have had diabetes for less than 10 years. The findings confirmed that consistently high blood sugar levels damage the tiny blood vessels and nerves in the inner ear, reducing blood flow and gradually deteriorating hearing. The study recommended including routine hearing tests as part of regular healthcare for diabetic patients, especially if the condition is in its early stages or if the patient is under 60, to enable early detection and interventions such as hearing aids before the situation worsens.
