Common diseases leading to deafness in children

Hearing loss in children,

Part of it is due to congenital deafness,

The other part is the day after tomorrow.

That childhood,

What diseases are likely to cause deafness?

01 measles

Measles is an important cause of suppurative otitis media. About 30% of children’s otitis media in the 1950s-1960s were induced by measles, resulting in conductive deafness. In addition, measles virus can reach the stria vascularis of the cochlea through blood circulation, causing microcirculation disturbance or labyrinthitis, resulting in bilateral moderate and severe neuropathic deafness.

02 meningitis

Whether children or adults with meningitis or encephalitis B, can directly affect hearing. In the 1950s, about 30% – 40% of the deaf children were caused by meningitis. With the implementation of vaccination, meningitis has been greatly reduced, but there are still individual cases that need to be vigilant.

Meningitis can invade the inner ear, causing labyrinthine suppurative inflammation, which becomes the dead ear. Once damaged, it is totally deaf or deaf mute. Therefore, the prevention of meningitis early detection and timely treatment is very important to prevent deafness.

03 mumps

Referred to as “mumps”, commonly known as “mumps”, is a common infectious disease in children, which is caused by mumps virus. After infection, the virus can affect the function of the cochlea and vestibule. The virus circulates into the inner ear through blood circulation, causing inflammatory changes in the stria vascularis of the cochlea and viral labyrinthitis.

Once the above situation occurs, it will seriously affect the hearing and is difficult to cure. Therefore, when children are accidentally infected with mumps, they should not be careless and should be treated as soon as possible to avoid affecting their hearing.

04 varicella

Chickenpox is a viral infection that occurs mostly in school-age children. The virus infection is closely related to deafness. Because after the virus is infected, it can lurk in the sensory ganglia, and deafness occurs when there is a chance.

Therefore, children should prevent the occurrence of chickenpox. If it has already happened, they should be treated thoroughly in time, and their hearing should be rechecked in time after suffering from chickenpox. If hearing loss is found, it should be treated in time.
