New Year’s resolutions to "eat better and exercise more" are worthwhile in many ways. Research shows that making corrections in these areas can help guard against developing diabetes. It also shows that adults with diabetes are twice as likely to have hearing loss than those without. In fact, 70% of diabetics between the ages 50-69 have high-frequency hearing loss. Some ways diabetics can lower their risk of hearing loss: exercise regularly and eat nutritious foods, avoid tobacco use, which compounds the risk for hearing loss and have yearly hearing exams to monitor any changes that might occur.
