Hearing_loss_and_diabetes
There have been several studies that connect the loss of hearing to severe conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, depression, heart disease, etc. These correlations are known as comorbidities, which is the simultaneous presence of two or more chronic conditions in an individual. 

Here are seven comorbidities that are known to be associated with hearing loss:

  1. Loneliness and Social Isolation - A study on individuals with hearing loss indicated that 4-6 weeks is the amount of time that passed before these participants disclosed feelings of social isolation when they began using hearing aids.  
  2. Depression - 1.63 per 25 dB of hearing loss. These are the odds that someone with hearing loss will report that they have any symptoms of depression.
  3. Falls - 1.4 per 10 dB of hearing loss. The odds of reporting a major falls increases 1.4 fold in those between the ages of 40-69.
  4. Cardiovascular Disease - 85% of diagnosed strokes are related with individuals who had flat or low-frequency sloping losses indicated on their audiogram, which indicate a vascular pathology in the cerebrovascular system, or a general vascular compromise that affects the hearing and cardiovascular structures. 
  5. Diabetes - 1.4 is the risk ratio for developing loss of hearing if you have diabetes. The risk is 1.04 if you have pre-diabetes. 
  6. Dementia and Cognitive Impairment - 1.2 per 10dB of hearing loss. This is the risk ratio increase in all-cause dementia for those who suffer from hearing loss.
  7. Mortality - For those who are 67-years-old and over, a study found that this is when  mortality is more prevalent for those with hearing loss. 

The loss of hearing can be an indication of other chronic diseases, and it’s important for anyone who is affected to see a professional. To avoid becoming a statistic, contact us at Pure Sound Hearing Aids to schedule a free hearing test and consultation.
