The most common question that people who experience hearing loss and are told it may be a side-effect of diabetes have is ‘why’. You may want to know the underlying reason before you get your hearing test in Sydney.

The cochlea, the hearing organ present in the inner ear is microvascular meaning it is abundant in small blood vessels.

High blood sugar damages these vessels, the same way as it does in the kidneys.

What can you do to avoid hearing loss?

While hearing loss cannot be fully prevented, it can definitely be controlled. Here are some ways:

Aspirin, NSAIDs should be avoided as these medications could cause hearing impairment in the near future if taken without controlled medical supervision.

Avoid exposure to loud sounds.

If you work in areas where loud noises are a part and parcel of the work, wear ear muffs!

Have your ears cleaned frequently to avoid buildup of earwax.
Make sure you do this after a shower too, to avoid fluid buildup.
Do not have the earphones on maximum volume.
As soon as you begin to notice a loss of hearing or a constant ringing or buzz, be sure to approach an audiometrist.
