The holidays are the perfect time to connect with friends and family whether in person, by phone or zoom. However, these connections can be difficult with communication barriers such as hearing loss. For some individuals, hearing loss can put a damper on the festive activities of the season.

Diabetes and Hearing Loss – What’s the Connection?

According to the American Diabetes Association, more than 34 million people in the U.S. have diabetes, and an estimated 34.5 million have some type of hearing loss. A recent study found hearing loss is twice as common in people with diabetes as it is in those who don't have the disease.
