Hearing Loss and Diabetes

People with diabetes are twice as likely to have hearing loss as those who do not have diabetes.  According to a study by NIH, 5 million Americans that have diabetes also have hearing loss.  Unfortunately, this hearing loss is often untreated and under-diagnosed.  Openfit.com recommends all people with diabetes to get a hearing evaluation from a local audiologist.

Left undiagnosed and treated, a hearing loss will cause people to miss out on much of life which could cause depression and worsen the effects of diabetes.  When hearing loss is not corrected soon it only gets worse and the person with diabetes will continue to loose the ability to hear and understand.

Of course, the problem is obvious: hearing aids are expensive.  This is especially difficult for people dealing with diabetes because of all of the extra money that is required to manage diabetes.  At openfit.com, we sell new digital hearing aids for far less than local audiologist.  Best of all, our hearing aids are user programmable.  This means that all of the adjustments can be made by the consumer on his computer whenever he needs to.  Welcome to the future of hearing aids!  Give us a call at 1-888-858-4750 or email sales@openfit.com
