Mondays with Mary – Diabetes and Hearing Loss
Posted on May 05, 2025
Did you know? Hearing loss is twice as common in people with diabetes! Over time, high and low blood sugar can damage nerves and small blood vessels in the ears, leading to difficulty hearing.
Signs of hearing loss:
-Asking people to repeat themselves
-Struggling to hear in groups
-Feeling like others mumble
-Turning up the TV or music too loud
Protect your hearing!
-Keep blood sugar in check
-Get annual hearing tests
-Avoid loud environments
