Is Your Diabetes Making You Deaf
Posted by Sarah on May 21, 2009
Results from a five year hearing study involving more than 3,500 people has shown that people with diabetes were found to have hearing loss in greater numbers than people who do not have diabetes. The hearing loss frequently starts at an early age and will progress over several years.
They suggest that usual care for people with diabetes include questions about hearing function and referral for hearing assessment.
Edward A. Maznio, President and Founder of PurTone Hearing Centers of Arizona who provides stated. “The findings of this study are as applicable in the United States and particularly in our Arizona communities as it is in Australia. The findings underscore the diversity of causes of hearing loss and the need for early detection. Early detection and non-medical correction of hearing loss in Arizona is our primary goal. Early detection allows us to help keep our patient’s lives on track by staying connected to the world around them. This study is invaluable to PurTone Hearing and will help us improve patient care by encouraging those in our communities to pay closer attention to their hearing, especially if they’ve been diagnosed with diabetes.”
From Hearing Loss to Weight Loss green tea May Have A Cure for You.
? If so, a simple solution might be to drink more green tea. The benefits of green tea have been known by many for years. A significant number of health issues can be corrected with the regular consumption of green tea.
Green tea comes from the same leaf as green tea so it has anti-oxidants just like green tea does. In recent studies, green tea has been found to cut down on artery clogging which in turn can help with heart disease. A recent study has shown green tea to help blood vessel functionality as much as 50%. A second benefit of green tea is that it helps to prevent and knock out viruses. Studies have shown that green tea helps to render viruses inactive. This makes it a much quicker process to get rid of a virus and also helps prevent getting a virus. Another huge benefit of green tea is that cuts the risk of cancer. This has been known about green tea for awhile now, but this same benefit also holds true for green tea. Many doctors believe that this is due to the anti-oxidants in the green tea. Green tea has also shown to aid in weight loss in a few studies. The studies have shown that green tea drinkers had higher metabolism rates. This was only a slight increase, but every calorie counts if you are trying to lose weight. Most studies found about a 4% increase over a 24 hour period. One last benefit is that green tea helps lower total cholesterol levels and helps raise HDL cholesterol which is the good cholesterol.
So, if you suffer from any of the above, give green tea a try.
