HAGN#317-048898 People with diabetes are twice as likely to have a hearing loss

IF you have been diagnosed with diabetes you should see an audiologist to get a baseline hearing assessment, even if you have not noticed any hearing diffi culties. It is then advisable to get your hearing levels checked each year. High blood glucose levels may damage the blood vessels in the delicate inner ear over time. This can lead to hearing and balance diffi culties. Diabetic patients are also more susceptible to chronic ear infections. Untreated hearing loss is often associated with other health conditions, which can negatively impact on your ability to deal with diabetes. Early detection and management of hearing loss is the key to achieving the best possible outcomes. Attune Hearing off er comprehensive audiology assessments, with no out of pocket expenses to diabetics over 50 years, with a GP referral. The tests will include assessment of the outer, middle and inner ear and a report sent to your GP. This is because we value accurate diagnosis of hearing loss and recognise that the shape and type of hearing loss provides an insight into other medical conditions. Attune are the largest independently owned Au- THIS IS HOW diology Clinics in Australia, working with ear, nose and throat specialists, providing hearing, balance and tinnitus assessments.

HOMES 1 Bedroom From $154,000* AVAILABLE 2 Bedrooms From $199,000* NOW I 3 Bedrooms From $285,000* We love Retirement Villages. They absolutely have their place and we recommend them as a wonderful option for many older people and some retiress. But we are not one of them! Our facilities are different - every one of our villages are full of great facilities so you can do more of what you love. Our financial benefits are different - we are an affordable home ownership solution and our exit fees range from 0 to 15%. Our services are different - we don’t offer medical facilities/services, meals or laundry services. Our homes are different - all of our 1,2 or 3 bedroom homes are architecturally design with no commons walls. Our people are different - the average age of entry to our villages is mid 60’s.

Come and take a walk through our scenic and private villages, you’ll see how different we really are. Call 1300 45 55 65 today for village opening hours and locations.
