Thanks for the article, Chris. After reading it, it does make sense that hearing could be affected as much as sight. In my own family this was true with my mother and grandmother and now me. While I don't believe there's anything I can do about
improving the hearing, I've been successful so far controlling the diabetes. "Control" is the key word here because I'm still diabetic but I'm hoping to avoid complications, which are what eventually killed my mother and grandmother.
