Diabetes and Hearing Loss

Diabetes remains a critical comorbidity to hearing loss

Having both diabetes and hearing loss can lead to a poorer long-term prognosis for a patient’s health status along with higher costs for the health care system overall. That means audiology and healthcare in general can play important roles in making diabetes care and hearing health more valuable to patients and healthcare systems alike.

Download this white paper, Diabetes and Hearing Loss, sponsored by Hamilton® CapTel®, to explore the research linking the conditions and economics involved in managing and mitigating the effects of these conditions. You’ll understand ways healthcare professionals can work together to ensure better overall health outcomes for patients.

FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS ANYONE BUT REGISTERED USERS WITH HEARING LOSS FROM USING INTERNET PROTOCOL (IP) CAPTIONED TELEPHONES WITH THE CAPTIONS TURNED ON. Automatic speech recognition software generates captions of what the other party to the call says, and, in certain circumstances, a live communications assistant may be included on the call to make needed corrections and/or add call details. The captions are then sent to the phone. There is a cost for each minute of captions generated, paid from a federally administered fund. To learn more, visit fcc.gov.
