Hearing loss and Diabetes.

I have noticed posts on the forum where people query ear problems and their medications.

Interesting read, hearing loss is the one thing that has never been mentioned or checked during my annual check-ups, the ADA suggest diabetics should be screened every 2-3 years and every year when over 50

''Along with your eyes, feet, and kidneys, your ears need regular screening, too. Again, this is something that most of us are not likely to think about in association with diabetes! Amplifon and the ADA recommended getting screened by an audiologist every 2 to 3 years if you’re under age 50, and every year when you’re over 50 or if you already have hearing loss.''
