Diabetes is a condition which falls into one of three categories: Type 1, Type 2, or Gestational Diabetes.
Diabetes is a condition where your body does not make enough, or any of, a hormone called insulin. It also includes insulin resistance, where insulin does not work correctly
Hearing Loss and Diabetes
People who suffer from Diabetes may be up to twice as likely to suffer from hearing loss.
A study has suggested that those suffering from Diabetes, or pre-Diabetes, were more likely to have at least mild hearing loss in their ability to hear low-mid and high level frequency tones.
It is thought that hearing loss in those who suffer from Diabetes is due to neuropathy, or nerve damage, which is a common complication of Diabetes.
Hearing loss in those with Diabetes can also occur due to Maternally Inherited Diabetes and Deafness.
