This special presentation is open to all Y members along with present and former DPP participants! Presented by Dr. Saranne Baker, Doctot of Audiology.
Diabetes can lead to nerve damage that affects many parts of the body, including your hands, feet, eyes, and kidneys. Diabetes can also cause nerve damage in your ears. Over time, high blood sugar levels can damage small blood vessels and nerves in the inner ear. Low blood sugar over time can damage how the nerve signals travel from the inner ear to your brain. Both types of nerve damage can lead to hearing loss.
Please join us in the multi-purpose room for information and resources on how to help treat, and prevent hearing loss associated with diabetes.
