Diabetes and hearing

Messages

Hi guys,
The last few weeks I have had terrible problems with my hearing. I would say I have lost 50 per cent of my hearing.
I read somewhere that this can be a side affect of diabetes- I have had it since 1998.
I must admit that I always thought diabetes affected more eyesight or kidneys.
I eventually have been given an appointment with my GP this Friday so I am hoping he can maybe shed more light on what has happened.
Have any of you guys had an impact on their hearing through diabetes?
