Hearing impairment may be a common, under-recognized complication of diabetes , suggests a U.S. study. "We found that hearing loss was much more common in people with diabetes than people without the disease. The hearing loss we detected did not seem to be caused by other factors such as exposure to loud noises, certain medicines, and smoking ," lead researcher Kathleen E. Bainbridge said in a prepared statement.
She and her colleagues analyzed data from 5,140 people, ages 20 to 69, who completed a hearing test and a diabetes questionnaire as part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1999 to 2004.
