Mondays with Mary – Diabetes & Hearing Loss: Listen Up!
Posted on February 09, 2026
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
Take care of your ears like you do the rest of your health!
