Diabetes and Hearing Loss
• Top health concerns
• 26 Million with Diabetes, at 8.3% of the population (2012 data)
• 36 Million with Hearing Loss (~17%)
• NHANES 1999-2004: 65.5% of U.S. adults (age 20 and above) with diabetes had hearing impairment. Patients with diabetes are twice as likely to have hearing loss than those without diabetes.
• Hearing loss 30% higher in those with pre-diabetes.

Medical Conditions & Hearing Loss
• Diabetes
• Hypothyroidism
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Chronic Renal Disease
• Cardiovascular Disease
• Alport’s Syndrome
• Paget’s Disease
• Cogan’s Syndrome
• Other Medical conditions

Why Diabetes and Hearing Loss? • Unknown complication
• 95% rarely or never refer patients for hearing screening
• 98% do not use any on-line screening tools
• 72% of diabetes educator are unaware of the relationship
• 61% willing to promote local hearing screenings

How? • Extended periods of hyperglycemia
causing problems in the auditory system.
• Microangiopathy-disease of the small blood vessels.
• Cochlear microangiopathy-thickening vessels of the cochlea.

How?
• High blood sugar causes tiny blood vessels in the inner ear to break, disrupting sound reception.
• Significant hearing differences were at all frequencies for Type 2 subjects, but for Type 1 subjects, differences were at 1,000 Hz and below, and 10,000 Hz and above

Relationship Between Diabetes and Hearing Loss Factors increasing risks of hearing loss for the diabetes patient. • Age (>60 years of age increases the prevalence) • Duration of diabetes • Diabetes is associated with hearing loss and
could aggravate the hearing loss related to age. • Increased BM Source: Diaz de Leon-Morales LV, Jauregui-Renaud K. Garay-Sevilla ME, Hernandez-Prado J. Malacara-Hernandez JM. Auditory impairment in patients with Type 2 diabetes Mellitus. Arch Med Res 2005;36:507-510

Additional Screenings • Providers can do a serum creatinine level too as an indirect
indicator of how well a patients diabetes is controlled.
• Increased creatinine levels correlates with increased hearing loss.
