Disoder Analyst should include the testing of hearing in managing Type-2 diabetes. Relation between diabetes and hearing destruction in human subjects has been shown in many, but not all, studies-study said.
"However, the association between diabetes and hearing destruction tends to be stronger in studies that included younger participants, perhaps because in older samples, other causes of age-related hearing destruction may mask the contribution of diabetes to the impairment," Helzner noted.
"This factor in itself lends weight to the notion that Type-2 diabetes can damage hearing," Helzner explained. The result has published in the journal Current Diabetes Reports, are based on a review of studies of possible linkages between Type-2 diabetes and hearing impairment.
