Approximately 1 in 10 people are affected by Diabetes in Singapore. People with diabetes are more likely to experience hearing loss, as high blood sugar levels can damage the nerves and tiny blood vessels in the inner ear. Over time, this damage affects our ability to hear. Hence, managing blood sugar is not only good for your overall health but also helps to protect your ears. Tune in to find out more!
