The American Diabetes Association (ADA) has opened a Call for Comments for edits of the 2027 Standards of Care. Today we request your assistance on adding hearing and balance to this important document! The Audiology Project (TAP) has submitted a request to the American Diabetes Association to add more specific recommendations for hearing loss and risk of falls in diabetes care....
No immediate change to clinical practice, but audiologists who want hearing and balance screening included in diabetes care guidelines should submit comments to the ADA before the deadline.
If hearing and balance health are formally added to the ADA Standards of Care, it could create a significant new referral pathway and validate audiological screening as part of diabetes management.
- 01TAP is calling on the audiology community to comment on the ADA's 2027 Standards of Care.
