Cross-Sectional Associations Between Hyperglycemia and Hearing Loss at the Year 35 Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults Observational Cohort Study

In this population-based sample of middle-aged participants, HL was most pronounced in the high-frequency range but was mostly mild. T2D was associated with prevalent HL in both crude and adjusted models. However, prediabetes was not associated with HL, suggesting that interventions to both improve glycemic control and detect HL may provide a window of opportunity for both prevention of progression to T2D and prevention or slower progression of HL.
