Can deafness be cured?

Nowadays, hearing loss (also known as deafness) has become a chronic disease with high incidence. It has a direct impact on people’s quality of life. No matter what disease, the first thing people think of is: can it be cured? Jinghao hearing aid expert team on this issue: “can deafness be cured?” to make a brief introduction.

First of all, we need to correctly diagnose the nature of deafness and find out the causes of deafness. As we know, organic deafness can be divided into conductive deafness, sensorineural deafness and mixed deafness according to the pathological location.

Conductive deafness mainly refers to the pathological changes of the transmission mechanism of the outer and middle ear, and the disturbance of the sound wave into the inner ear. The common diseases include: congenital malformation of the outer ear, otitis externa, cerumen embolism, congenital malformation of the middle ear, otitis media, and otosclerosis. These diseases are relatively easy to diagnose clinically. Generally, they can be treated and recovered by drugs or surgery, that is to say, conductive deafness may be cured!

Sensorineural deafness refers to the hearing loss caused by the influence on the inner ear and its auditory nerve. This kind of deafness can’t change the sound wave into the nerve signal, or the nerve and its central pathway are blocked and can’t transmit the nerve signal to the brain. Common diseases include congenital inner ear malformation, senile deafness, noise deafness, sudden deafness, drug poisoning deafness, Meniere’s disease, hereditary deafness, auditory neuropathy, etc. The diagnosis of these diseases is much more complicated, some of which are even difficult to find out the cause.

Mixed deafness means that the above two diseases exist in one patient at the same time.

Next, Jinghao hearing aid experts mainly introduce the treatment and rehabilitation of sensorineural deafness.

Relevant data show that nearly 80% of hearing loss patients are sensorineural deafness. However, there is no effective treatment for sensorineural deafness at present. In addition to sudden deafness in the early stage of the disease through drug treatment, some patients can recover their hearing. For the sudden deafness after a month of treatment can not be restored, will leave a permanent hearing impairment, at this time the effect of drug treatment is very small. If hearing loss occurs suddenly in patients with AQS, the treatment is the same as sudden deafness. The hearing of such patients may be good or bad, but it can eventually lead to total deafness. A large number of clinical tests show that almost all sensorineural deafness can not be recovered by drugs or surgery. This kind of hearing loss is irreversible and cannot be cured!

In the past few decades, the history of hearing rehabilitation in China has been very worrying. Especially for parents of deaf children, because they don’t understand the characteristics of sensorineural deafness, they are stubborn to seek medical advice everywhere. They have too many expectations for some new medical technologies still in the experimental stage, such as cell regeneration technology and gene therapy technology, which are widely known at present. It’s good to spend a lot of money. What’s serious is that it affects the recovery of infants’ hearing, which leads to missing the best time for language learning. Professor Han Deming, President of Beijing Tongren Hospital, said at the second Chinese otolaryngology head and neck surgery conference: “hair cell regeneration technology has been put forward for more than 50 years since it was first proposed, but it has made little progress, let alone clinical application.”

We need to know that active rehabilitation and intervention is the most effective way to treat sensorineural deafness. For patients with sensorineural deafness who have residual hearing, the simplest and effective way is to choose a suitable hearing aid. There are many kinds of hearing aids now, and the functional indicators of hearing aid products are also constantly improving, which can generally meet the different hearing needs of various groups of people. With the help of hearing aids, patients can live and work like people with normal hearing. The use of hearing aids will greatly improve the quality of life of patients, improve their self-esteem and self-confidence.

Therefore, we hope that parents and patients will fully realize the important role of hearing aids, treat hearing treatment and rehabilitation scientifically, and actively and correctly use hearing aids on the basis of necessary medical treatment, so as to achieve the best effect of hearing rehabilitation.
