The Connection Between Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy and Hearing Loss

In my recent research, I've discovered a link between Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) and hearing loss. It turns out, diabetes can damage the nerves not only in our feet and hands but also in our auditory system leading to hearing impairment. The high blood sugar levels typical in diabetes can harm the delicate nerves in our ears, leading to DPN. Thus, it's important for those with diabetes to regularly check their hearing. This connection is a crucial reminder of the far-reaching impacts of this chronic disease.
