Thank you for your query.
Well there are mixed results of various studies that 21% of diabetics had hearing loss. For diabetic patients over the age of 60 the prevalence of high frequency hearing loss rose to 54%.
All I want to suggest that kindly get your mother`s ear evaluated by ENT specialist, as it will tell that which kind of deafness is it and what might be the probable cause of it.
Once the ear has been examined the cranial nerves should be evaluated. Audiography is more sensitive and specific than a tuning fork examination and thus is essential in most patients with hearing loss.
Since the blood sugar and blood pressure is under control so it is advisable to maintain it at mentioned level.
Ask her to avoid straining and doing heavy works as it might aggravates the problem.
For the time being you can start a combination of methylcobalamin and pregabalin.
God bless
