Relationship of Type 2 diabetes to the prevalence, incidence and progression of age‐related hearing loss

Aims  Type 2 diabetes and associated microvascular abnormalities are postulated to affect hearing. Our study reports on the relationship between Type 2 diabetes and the prevalence, 5‐year incidence and progression of hearing impairment in a representative, older, Australian population.
