Type 2 Diabetes May Damage Hearing, Study Finds

Researchers recommend auditory testing of diabetic patients.

Type 2 diabetes may raise the risk of hearing loss, say researchers who recommend hearing tests for patients with the blood sugar disease.

The researchers reviewed prior studies examining the link between diabetes and hearing loss. However, further research is needed to confirm this connection, said study.

"An association between diabetes and hearing impairment in human subjects has been shown in many, but not all, studies," said expert. "Direct comparison of these studies is complicated due to a lack of consistency in defining hearing impairment and other factors," expert said.

However, expert added, the association between diabetes and hearing impairment tends to be stronger in studies that included younger participants. It's possible that in older patients, other causes of age-related hearing impairment may mask the contribution of diabetes, expert said. "This factor in itself lends weight to the notion that type 2 diabetes can damage hearing," expert explained.

Hearing loss affects more than 16 percent of American adults, with nearly half of people older than 75 having difficulty hearing, according to the U.S. National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders.

Hearing loss has been linked with social isolation, depression, mental decline, dementia, and increased risk for falls, hospitalization and death, the researchers say.
